4.10 on the rear.   I'm considering a Doug Nash (US Gear) OD unit for the
tranny tail section, .67 OD, I think.  I am also considering a "close spaced
torque converter" (less clearence between the blade sets... lower stall[?])

I am planning on using coated headers with 1.75" X 43" (!) primaries.  This
peaks my torque at about 1800 RPM.  With the OD,  that's about where my
hiway cruising speed should be.
