Yeap I guess your right.

For some reason I thought it was made $200 difference between new and replace.

Any one running a BB with toploader and ?? for gears.

dont know if I should go 3.08, 3.27, 3.54

You can use a rpm/gear ratio calculator and figure out where you'd be at different speeds.

I had a '73 Corvette with a Muncie 4-speed. With 3.55 gears, it was just fine on the interstate. As a matter of fact, I drove it for 6 hours on interstate from Louisville to Cleveland.

My vote would be 3.55 gears.
