I have a 3.73 behind a 454 and M20 trans. It's just for cruising, no racing but it does get on the freeway sometimes. I would really prefer a 3.42, of course the 454 has a lot of low end torque so I don't need a high gear ratio to get the thing moving.

A 350ci & 2 speed Powerglide.......mine is just for cruising also. Probably never see an Interstate, so higher rpms don't really matter to me.
