my brother and i rebuilt the smallblock in his 78. turns out it had a 305 out of a 86 camaro. we found a 4bolt block that was .030 so we just honed it. it has forged pistons, 9.75 compression, .465 .488 lift hydraulic cam, performer rpm intake, aluminum zz4 heads, 600 holley, headers and 2 1/2 exhaust with flowmasters, rebuilt turbo 350 with a shift kit. it has a stock stall converter with 3.08 gears. should we stay with the 3.08's or change them to 3.55 or even 3.73? he only drives it in the summer during nice weather. last year he only put about 1000 miles on it but that was with the old motor. the new one should be way more responsive and fun. what would you do? thanks jim

if he drives a lot on the highway, leave as is, if he wants more punch stop light to stop light, change it
