Re: ?
I'd pull the 4.11's in favor of 3.50's and then run the sbc. I know it's not an option but that's what i'd do, even if you keep the 4.11's I still think the sbc would be better.

I would think that a 4.11 and the overdrive would work quite well with either motor but I have no first hand experience. I'm a V8 man so I have to say small block!
