If you don’t mind running around in 3rd most of the time and carry those other 3 gears for a top end run, then it might work okay.

So yeah, he's got that figured out already.
My only thing to consider is how you'll have enough traction on a street truck to enjoy 600hp big block and super low gearing. I'd imagine you'll just burn the tires off all the time. Otherwise its a great idea! You can always go with a M series munice plus gear vendors as well.
