IMHO If you are not hauling heavy stuff or towing I would go for taller gears . 3:50-3:70s would be a good compromise . If I was hopping up the flathead or going ohv later I would go even taller . Father had 51 F1 with 3:92s. went across the US , 2x. Flathead was buzzing. But speed limit was 55 back then. Different story now
