I run 4.56's behind my t56 and 406sbc. with a 28" tire it was PERFECT. now that I have went to a 335/30/18 that is only 26" tall, it still works well. although, a 4.10 would be better with my now shorter rear tire.

if you run a big cam with one of those aggressive(read touchy) clutches, you will love the shorter gearing. the low first gear of the t56 coupled with the 4 series rear gear makes the car pull out clean and effortlessly. with my big choppy cam and the original 3.73's, it took more clutch slippage to get the car moving.
Thanks for the input; Do you know the ratios for your T-56? I know that the Dodge version that I have is supposed to be geared differently than some of the others.
