Hi. In light of CNC-DUDE suggested on determining rpm needed from the parts I will be using I have a question on figuring this out. I should have the info but it escapes me right now.

Using the following setup on the Coupe lets see if we can figure the RPM needed at 70 MPH.

Stock 46 Chevy 3 on the tree transmission, 355 rear end and with variables in tire sizes for the sake of seeing what each tire size would result in RPM needed for 70 MPH as I will be purchasing new radials anyway. Stock tire size of 600/16 or with 650/16 or 700/16. Would include 750/16 but likely my 4"-4.5" original rim width would be a bit narrow for the 750's.

What do you guys think on this?
