Do you know the casting number on your current cyl heads? .. just the last 3 numbers. Do you have power steering, etc.?

Have you thought about changing over to vortec heads and intake style? Do you know approx compression you have now? 64cc heads would wake that motor up! Dart iron eagle heads might be a middle of the road option for you to get her breathing a little more too.

With gas as expensive as it is and a th350, with a stall I think a 3:07 would do fine. Any more than that you'll blow the tires off ( just my opinion) remember its a truck without a lot of weight back there. I'd save that gearing for the highway / gas mileage.

Change to 700r4.. you'd get that bottom end PLUS the fuel mileage on the highway. (Or a GB od.. same idea)

Just some things to throw out there for you. You have a ton of options. But if you went with the RPM age, you'd have it if you ever changed heads. .. humm.
