It depends on what color seat belts you are going to use.

The things we do for love....lol. I had a ford 1 ton dump with a 460 c6 and 4:10 gears. It got about 6 mpg loaded or not. I liked it, but got rid of it due to that reason and replaced it with a diesel. It cost me almost as much to haul stone as it did to have it delivered, but fuel was over $3.00 then.47 years ago , I had a street legal '57 chev , c-gas ['member the old gas classes?] had 4.88 gears .running down the highway[ I was dating a girl in a town 25 miles away] that sucker SCREAMED !!

They'll probably be black, for the folks that think they need 'em, since I'm planning a red interior.
you can make the 700 strong too. I put a hardened clutch basket and heavy clutches in mine with a good converter and a shift kit, external filter, cooler and it held up fine to a very healthy 383 stroker and a very heavy right foot! The tricky part was converter lockup control when you want it, but that was only an issue because I was pushing the envelope with compression and having some preignition.3.73 or 4.1 with a 700r4. look at the overall gear ratios that trans offers.
Multiply the trans low gear ratio times the rear end ratio. That will give you an idea of how the car will leave from a stop sign. So the 700r has a 1st gear of 3.06 vs a 350 of 2.52.
4.10 x 3.06 =12.54..............700
4.10 x 2.52=10.25................350
you would have to run a 4.98 gear with the 350 to get the same overall effect
now look at high gear
4.10 x .7 = 2.87
4.10 x 1 = 4.10
The more modern OD transmissions offer so much more in the way of stop light acceleration and then high gear OD
Tranny Ratios
Sounds like political logic....lol[/QUOTE]OK....black seat belts....conservative choice, therefore, 3:52
WAIT.....black seat belts with red interior.....complimentary contrast, probably should go with 3:73
BUT.....if you decide to go with chartreuse seats belts with red interior.....that would definitely call for 4:11
Ain't the harmony of the universe grand?
