The 3.07 rear gear and the overdrive at highway speeds will give you a 2.15 final ratio when in overdrive. The 292 will be great for this. The LS not so much. The LS would like something closer to 3.55. I drove a 63 Chevy truck with the 292 for a couple of years. It had great torque at low rpm's. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it drove and didn't regret installing it.
