I have done some reader has and found out that most likely has 3.07 gears. Are these any good will they get up some speed I'm going to keep my 350 4 barrel pretty much stock. Can anyone give me some input on this I will eventually have 18x8 and 18x 10 tires and wheels. Thanks for your help

3.07 would be correct. All you need is the "TDE". Here is a link to the ratio charts I posted a few years ago. The 3.07 is a pretty high gear but it should work pretty good with your current setup, presuming you have a TH350.... Not sure when you go with the 18" wheels though, you may not have any low end left at that time.
