Default 3.73/700r4?

I'm converting my 69 Camaro to EFI and want to get the rear end matched with my combo. I have a mild 350 mated to a 700R4 with the stock 2.73 rear end at the moment but would like to know what would be a good match for it?

Any suggestions on what would be a good match?

With that 3.06 first gear i think something closer to 3.42-3.55 might be the way to go.

^^ Yeah, 3.73 is too steep. I'm using a 3.55 rear gear with a 700R4 BBC in a 69 Camaro and it is almost too low.

3.42 with 700R4 here... It's about perfect.

400hp 350 with EFI in a 1971 Camaro getting about 27 mpg on the highway with the lockup converter.

It's looking like the 3.42 is the way to go from different people I've talk with
