    Yeah, I don't know what rear gears I'll end up with yet. Depends on what kinda deals I find out there but while I want some performance on the low end, I want to at least have a shot at some ok mpg's when highway cruisin'.

    Randy they say the 3.55 is a great gear with the T-5 trans . Performance and mileage . Now with the EFI it even gets higher but looks out of place under a 37 hood . But hey we could try it and see it for ourselfs right .

    I've seen the EFI in a couple of them and it didn't look too bad to me! LOL! The only thing I think looks funky in a 37 is a V6! It just seems wrong though I'm sure some have done it! LOL!

    Well parts are building for the 37 and EFI's are cheap with the looms and cpu . I guess it could always be a dapted later once she is rolling . I do figure it to be of modern or what is available now days . Seen a 5.0 , tranny and a 8.8 on Craig's list for If I remember right $600 or $700 with the puter and looms .
