Finally got my 64 coupe on the road. It has the 365 hp engine, 4 speed tranny and a 4:11 rear end. Intend this to be a driver and, being in California, this means freeway driving with the engine running aproximately 3500 rpms in regular traffic. Bit too high for me in long distance travel. Thinking of swapping the rear end gears for a better cruiser. Do not know the formula but believe would like to be able to cruise at 70 mph at around 233-2500 rpm's while still having a strong pulling car from a standing start.
Any suggestions for which gear ratio would suit my purpose? And, if so, what do we do to correct the speedometer?
Thanks
