This all depends. 3.73 is great if you A] were only hot rodding around town or B] had the 700r4 in. The 3.73 powerglide will put you at 2600 or so at 60mph, which is slow these days. 3.42 would be ok for the glide too, alittle more sluggish in town. IMO, gear for the 700r4, and rev out a little on the highway for the time being.

3.73
