Thoughts on this 318 recipe

Non highway cruiser for now....dual purpose when the 440/518 are done
I would say if you're trying to get that teener to make all that weight get moving and you're not planning to put it on the freeway much if any I would be looking at something and 410 gears or higher depending on how seriously quick you want to get all that weight moving with that small engine.. possibly something that would work well with an overdrive anyways...
