The best advice that I can give is to sit down and use a gearing calculator to find a rear end trio and transmission that match the power band of your cam. Then before you settle on anything go back to the gearing calculator and be realistic about what rpms you will be typically running in the city and on the highway. Some engines can run ok at lower rpms and others hate lower rpms. For street driving you really do not want an engine with a cam that has a power band that starts at 4,000 rpms, unless you do not mind having a lower geared (i.e., 4.10) rear end.

You re going to be spending a to of money on the engine, transmission and rear-end, match them so that they work for you. Do not piece meal your drive train together.
