Ok, you're looking for opinions, correct? 4.11's won't do anything for you except replacing rear tires more often.

I've got a FE in mine w/3.27's. My opinion, big blocks (FE's or 385-series) work best with 3.27's or 3.07's in our light cars.

I've ridden in many, many small block replica's, with all different rear ratios; in my opinion, depending on build level/cu. in., small blocks work best w/3.27's or 3.55's.

Obviously, 1st gear ratio of many differenent trannies come into play too.
