			Thanks, guys.  While it might run better with more gear, I'm not going to change a thing.  It primarily a street car.  On a 350 mile roundtrip road trip to Pittsburgh this summer, I was getting a real 19 mpg running 70 mph at 3200 rpm across the hills of Pennsylvania.  More gear would definitely hurt gas mileage and make long road trips a bit uncomfortable.   
 
I'm pretty happy with a car that will run 108 in the 1/4 and still manage 19 mpg with no OD. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]  The engine is built off of a '69 L65 block.  It's a very simple 355 combo using mostly GM parts (062 vortec heads, GMPP low rise EGR dual plane manifold, etc).
