i'll get back to the both of yous later in more detail; i'm actually dizzy from all the numbers (and from working nightshift).

But yes, the diesel mirrors the smallblock gear selections, although not identical in all cases---the diesel usually gets the next step up (next lower gear).

i'm thinking maybe 3.42 would be "fun" yet still get decent mpg with the 350/M20 combo?
