Thanks for all the replies everyone! Yeah, the unported iron heads are kinda my weak link but easy enough to replace with some budget aluminum heads in the future when I have the extra dough. If I had to do it all over again, I would've gone with a solid cam too. I've run a solid cam on a street car before and I don't remember it being that big a hassle.

410,i changed my street car from 430,s to 410,s and love it.the 430,s had alot more umph but were a little to much for my liking on the street.




4.10's!!
If your running street 26"/27" tires, you'll not like the 4.30's.
Even 28" tires will buzz the RPM's a little too high for general comfort with 4.30's. It would be a bear at freeway speeds.

Don't feel bad about looking back and wanting to change things, nobody gets it right the first time , mainly do to finding out what you really want after you get the car done I would run the 4:10 or lower for your present combination. If your thinking of a stroker in the future then stick with the 4:10 for now If no stroker then thank about a set of 4:30 or 4:56, the stocker style 440 need all the help they can get on the line to move the mass the first 50 ft. Another really good option is to install a 2:75 ratio low gear set in the trans now and leave the 4:10 rear gears in with the stocker style C.I. motor The low gear set really helps the off the line perforamnce and deosn't hurt the cruise RPMs in high gear

I'd go 4.10...it's only a ~5% difference and you can always opt to run a taller tire to knock it down to an Effective 3.91 if you were'nt 100% sold on it. Conversely If you didn't like the 3.91 I doubt you'd want to consider running a shorter tire to get an Effective 4.10.

Of course at $475 for the 727 low gear set I don't think that really falls under "budget"...

If you don't care about RPM on the street, gear it for the track.

115mph with 28" tire and 6% converter slip gives you right on 6,000 with the 4.10...
