I would suggest that if you can get a 430 gear then go with that.
I have 411 gears in my Model A with 350/350 combo and 30" x 18.5" Mickey's.
I'm turning about 2600 rpm's at 60 mph. It's not quite enough and I would prefer 456 gears if I ever decide to change.

IMO 430's or even 411's are too deep for the street without overdrive. Look at Lakotas chart, which is pretty accurate. I was running 390's in my 3 speed with 30 inch tires and went to 370's and was much happier. (so was my valvetrain)
