the gear i believe we'll be using is a 4:11, I dont plan on rpm'n the motor to much just to about 6200-6500. (since the stock bottom end) Or could I?? I know the heads are a little radical for the bottom end, but maybe a stroker will be added later on in the project. All this is going into a 79' Nova (3100-3300lbs) that will be strictly track and occasional run on the street with fellow gearheads..

if any more info needed please let me know.

and thanks John and Erik for your responses

p.s. I will be buying a roller cam and solid lifters
