Default Re: Gear ratio's and final drives

I have the T-170 fron a mid 70's F150 6 cyl in my 47 pu truck. The engine is a 270.4ci stock flathead with EAB heads Gm dist and 2gc carb. Rear axle is a spicer 44 wposi and 3.73 gearsThe drivability of this beast is fantastic for my driving in Vermont. If i lived in the mid west, i'd go for a 3.55 rear. The stock EAB cam pulls from 1500 to 4K and sounds very good, MY engine was a salvaged 276 with Egge 3 5/6 + .020 3 ring pistons. Everything else is stock.
