323 355 or 373 gears??

RogerCox said

planning on running a 408 stroker from blue print engines, with 727 trans and Dana 60 rear end with truetrac.

tires will be BF 275 60r15 or 295 50r15 (haven’t decided) if any one has photos that would help me out.

do more street driving than I will be racing, and like to cruise on the highway around 80 haha. Was thinking 355 gears, what rpm would that put me at 80, and would that still give me a ton of off the line pull?


Couple other questions:

1- do you have to move the stock gas tank with the Dana 60 rear end
2- need help with what to do to rear end and front end suspension

Thanks!

You'll love the tru-trac. Best option out there.

Here is a link that will assist you. Speed/Tire/RPM calculator

With the 295/50r15 tire and 3.23 gears it will turn 2500@61MPH. Without an overdrive you might tolerate 3.55's but I wouldn't go beyond that on if you highway it much. To give you an idea of what a dynamic difference that would make for you, I run 4.56 gears and turn 2600@ 60mph. You want the taller tire.

Moving the rear back will depend on the rear end cover you use. I needed to shim mine back but I also run a welded factory replica fuel tank. A stock tank and a stock over should fit. Shimming it back is easy.

Suspension aside from springs or Tbars get some viking adjustable shocks. I'd call bill at RMS. He wons the site I linked you to.
