Well . . it certainly all depends what you use your car for . . . in my 74 Duster360 (stock), before going to Carlisle years ago, I swapped out the 8.25" rear end (complete) that had 3.55:1 gears, for another that was 2.45:1 gears !!! Yes, that high . . . with the 360, 727auto, 235/60/14 tires, cruising 70mph = 2500rpm !

With the torquey 360, it has no problem spinning the right rear (yeah a one legger), and love the passing power on the highway !!! Not to mention getting 22mpg @ 70mph !!!!

As I have always said, you have to build the car for you . . .for what you want to do. I like driving LONG distances to car shows, not being a drag racer or street fighter. So the car works for me !! Course I miss my big ole C Body for long distance cruising . . . .

Just my

Cheer
