Gearing ?

Build it for the street, then do things afterwards that won't hurt bottom end. like header 4b dual plane intake and a 600 cfm carb.
When i first bought my E-body i had 2.76 gear in the rear, 318 bone stock up front. took it to the track and got high 18 and 19s et's. Put a sets of 22" tall tires and pull my et down some(yes it look dorking with them little tire out back.) but it work. found a 340 stock and put it in got better. 3.23 poss and got even better. build a warmed over 340, 3.91 poss. 10" slick, Now we're having fun!!!!!
For me that was the tipping point. was running truck tires on the back that were 27" tall to get me at the track' but freeway driving sucked. always in the slow lane to the track.
now with my 408 3500 stall and 4.56 gears.............never leaves the garage unless it's going an a trailer
