Thanks to everyone for being so helpful. I will be doing mostly highway and city driving. Its going to be my a second vehicle so it wont be driven every day. I want to keep the useability so I will probably keep it at stock height and just put on some billet wheels with some standard A/T tires.

My ideal drivetrain combo would be a 350/700R4 combo which I will probably convert to TBI throught the use of one of these: http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLin...B/950-21S.html
What is a good rear end ratio for mostly cruising but occasional high speed freeway driving? I guess what I mean is I want to have good acceleration but I also want to cruise comfortably on the freeway.

Thanks

Coop
