Rodney,
I have the original (wide ratio) gears in my Mk II's Toploader, but
a DPO swapped in a 3.54 rear end. My 0 - 60 is phenominal, and I can
light up the rear tires just by stomping on the gas (in 1st AND 2nd
gear!), but highway cruising is a real pain (75 mph = 3800 rpm). My
engine is the original 289 with no mods. I have an Edlebrock F4B and
Holley 4 barrel carb that I want to install (some day), but I'll
probably need to go back to the stock 2.88 gears to limit wheelspin.
