4.10's aren't much good for anything but around town, or racing, even in a SBC powered car!

I'd find a set of 3.73's and it will be perfect!

Yes you do! 3.07? That must be fun to cruise the freeways!

Nice Val. We almost did one just like that before the LS Ram project came about.

Thanks! Hoping for something like this when it's completed, but not sure of the color it will be painted yet:

Heading out tomorrow morning to help pull the 454 I bought last week. The seller is a friend's dad, and fortunately he's got a nice shop and all the tools (and a forklift!) to pull the engine. So I just need my trailer and coveralls to rip it out.
He also has 9 or 10 very cool project cars, so easy to get distracted! He's got a '37 Chevy coupe as a planter too! And a old Buick nailhead with Hilborn injection system on it! Cool stuff!
