Sounds similar to a 400, .030 over I had years ago. I loved to drive it on the freeways/highways. I think I had a 2.73 rear ratio, and it pulled hard from 50-100 mph. Only downside was having to drive around town in low gear, up to about 30 mph. I once drove from the SF bay area to Reno in 2nd gear, just cruising at 70 mph. I had made homemade snorkels from aluminum dryer vent tubing forcing a lot of air into 12.5:1 compression chambers, 115 octane rating, ice cold air. Stock rods, pistons saw 6000 rpm only a few times. With the 2.73 gear ratio, you don't need a lot of rpm to build up speed, but it takes a little longer.
