My avatar car has a 4.11 rear end, a '77 302 and 3 sp manual. At 55mph I am at 3000 rpm's so it is not really a freeway car. Sometimes I just plain need to use the freeway.
Question is what could I expect if I were to change the rear end to a 3.73? Any other comments are certainly welcome as to gear ratios.
Thanks in advance!!
