Old truck I built had a 454, 4-speed, 4.10s and 35s. Would do 70 no problem without bottoming out the tach. Prolly cause of the 454, but was a blast to drive. Never got old shifting. Was a junkyard tranny, hydro clutch, and not that it matters a 205 t-case. If you build the motor for torque, your current setup will be fine. Buddy had a K-5 with a 400 4-speed, 3.08s and 35" swampers, said it would pull away from traffic at a light....
