I did an entire rear end swap from a salvage yard because I know entirely zip about setting up lash.

Just how fast do you plan on cruising through town?

A 350 CI Small Block Chevy built with torque in mind won't be blocking traffic if you don't want it to.

In town I just want to keep up with traffic and not be an annoyance because I am geared too low.

I can understand that, I ran the 4:10 rear for a while after replacing the 6 with an 8, and while the truck was a stump puller, I got tired of the dirty looks from little old ladies passing me up on the freeway.

I'd still try the 4:10 at first anyway just to see what you think.
