I would ideally like to retain 12" GC at the floor pan and rear center section. Anything over that here and you are mud boggin', and I don't even want to temp myself into doing that again. right now, with the SA and blaster shocks on the rear, I was sitting at 13.5" at it's lowest point, but I might drop it a bit depending on the top speed factor of the new engine. I am going to gear it down some from the 3.35:1 ratio down closer to 4:1 for top speed reduction and increased grunt in the bottom two gears. The kan-a-tuna's were notoriously high geared, and it's top speed was in the 120's, I want to max out around 50-ish. The upside to using this engine is the parts available for just about what ever you want to do. Right now looking at getting it running and finding and 4-1 header for a bit more low end rather than using the 4-2 it has now. Also being a cable clutch makes the shifter placement a bit easier.
