NOTE: i'm not really that good with drivetrain combos so.....

2) As far as recommendations i'm struggling with that myself because i want to tow about no more than 5000lbs but only occasionally so this right there means i don't want to go too low because i'll spend most of the time commuting not towing. But i can't go too high because trying to tow 5000lbs with 2.56 would put too much strain on the engine if i use a "smaller" engine i'm thinking.

On top of that to confuse the issue further i'm not sure if i want to use a 383/400 really good for towing not so good on gas. Or a 6.2 diesel or 305 better on mpg, but less power.

What are you planning on using your truck for? The other thing, i'm thinking is 4th gear on a muncieM20 1:1? And what ratios are the first 3 gears?

I here you..........the choices are endless. My truck is only going to be for play!!!!!!!! Muncie M20 gearing
1st - 2.52
2nd- 1.88
3rd - 1.46
4th - 1.00

I figure I may need to move up to 3.08 or 3.73 to see any real improvement
