My current setup turns 2700 at 70mph and that is annoying. The .64 5th would give me 2000rpm at 70mph and with the torque of a big block that would be a great cruising rpm
I would check with your engine builder regarding how well your big block will like 2,000 rpms. Depending on the cam, it may not like it at all. With a mild cam that may be k, but an aggressive cam is going to want a higher rpm to run right.
