anyone running a sm465 with 3.08's?

Hey guys, I was looking at gear ratios today, I want to do a manual conversion on the 68 but it seems difficult to find A.) a good 5 speed, or B.) a t56 for a reasonable price. But I have found many sm465's and I was looking at the 1.0/1 4th gear ratio coupled with a 3.08 final gear and 275/60/15's (26.99 height) and it puts the engine at about 2500 rpm at 65 mph.

Was wondering if anyone is running this setup and how do you like it?

Welding is a lot like sex, you don't have to be great with the rod as long as you thoroughly prep the surface and your good at grinding
