    Why not a Richmond?

    It all depends on which ratio your first gear is on the tranny. If it is 3.27 or 3.28, your first gear will be too steep with 3.89 or even 3.50, 3.25 would be pushin it . I have a 5 speed richmond with a 3.28 first gear and I originally had 3.50 gear in the rear, and 1st gear was unusable...

    69 302 Boss block

    I'd pull it apart, and if the pistons are still usable, find a std bore factory 289-302 block and bore it .030 re-assemble with new rings, bearings. I wouldnt waste the b302 block. you could sell the b302 block to fund this entire project, or save it for a rainy day. if you feel a stock...
