Not Ranked
What do you plan on doing with the car? The set up for driving on the street is different than drag racing which is different than road racing. You need to check and see what gears you really have. The NASCAR gear boxes typically had gears between that of a close ratio and wide ratio. The heavy cup cars had to have something to get them moving. I am guessing that you basically want a street car. My suggestion would be a 3.31 rear with a wide ratio trans. A 3.73 with a close ratio trans would be great on a tight road coarse, but will drive you nuts on the freeway. Of course the car should accelerate like a rocket with the 3.73 gears. In reality with the 3.73 gears any toploader will work will on the street. check out David Kee's web site for further info on "white stripe trannies" and the gear ratios used in the race cars.
