Here is the deal this scout has 4.27 gears. I will be going 75+ mph on the freeway which is 3500 rpm at 75 in 4th gear with the np425 and 31" tires.
I will use this for around town, occassional highway, mild offroad.
I want to run an Edlebrock 4 barrel, aussie 2v,
(cam with more lift not sure about the lobe center) 9.5:1+ and a strong midrange.
