TKO600---.64 or .82

If you go with the 0.64 fifth gear, rear end should be 3.73.

Thats what I have. First gear has tremendous pull. Fourth gear is OK for 55 MPH highway. Fifth gear for 70 MPH or higher - great fuel MPH on long highway drives.

In 5th gear at 100 MPH, I'm only doing 3000 RPM. Just cruisin'

If the car will only be used local and/or trailered, I'd go for the 0.82

I am glad they let you cruise at 100mph in Squantum. How much do they pay Plumbers?
I'd like to move there. They won't let you cruise above 70mph in Maryland and then your pushing your luck.

That's because you'd run into Virginia or Delaware in a matter of seconds.

C'mon up to PA; my 0.68 allows 80 mph+ at 2700 rpm and the cruising there is just fine.

I guess that instead of picking a 5th. gear on final drive or size of motor we should pick it depending on the state.

Well I could turn and hit PA.

2700RPM she is just starting to smooth out. But Could always leave it in
4th.
