I'm dropping a 1960 235 (.06 over) with a manual tranny into my 48 chevy coupe. Eventually I'll do some things to hop it up, but it will never be a racer. I want it to have some "umph!" to it and be able to cruise the highway. I'm planning on running 670x15 bias plys. So, here's my question... I have the opportunity to use a Ford 9" rear end with 2.75 gears. Is that too high of a ratio for what I want? Should I be looking for something more like 3.7 or 3.4 gears? I know Nova rears will fit (but are getting harder to find) and S10 rears will fit, so other options are available, but I already have the 9". Should I keep looking?
Thanks,
Joe
