yes with those tires, gears and trans it should love highway but around town, take off and torque is aweful. We had a stock built 350 basically with a summit 1102 cam edelbrock 600cfm carb, and stock quadrajet intake and it ran the exact same as the old 305 did basically, it had a little more power but not a noticeable amount really, we had 33's a 700r4 and 3.08's too.

If I were you I'd look into 4.10 or 4.11's bare minimum. Maybe even 4.56's or so with overdrive and 35's. then if you want more, switch cams.

wanna know how you can tell if it'll work? find some small tires, on some 6 lug wheels that fit and try it. maybe some 235 75's or something, you need a shorter tire like a 30 inch tall or so, if you do that and only that and it has alot more torque which it should, you need to regear. I already know you do, but it'll show you and have the seat of the pants feel to see how much different it is.
