Sundance,

            Based on my Ranger with 3.89's and 29" tall tires, I'm at 23/2400. The truck has a fairly "loose" converter, so the RPM will vary with the amount of throttle. It's a non lock up converter. 

The car, has the 26.5 inch tires, but the OD is on the shelf for now, It has a straight three speed. On the street I've installed a 3.25, at the drags I use a 4.56 that I commandered from Hoosier Hurricane.

I was planning to use the Baumann Engr TCS

My tire size is a little more than you guys are using......my rears are 39" diameter. I calculated 504 rear wheel PRM at 60mph. with the 5.83:1 axle and 0.71 E4OD (in OD) I'll get about 2100rpm at 60mph.

Of course when I want low gears......a flip of the switch will shift the 2 speed to 8.11:1 !!!

Just an update for anyone interested. I went with the Wilcap adapter for no other reason than it was quite a bit less money. Took about a month to receive parts, but the parts are great and communication with the company has been great. Got the adapter, flywheel starter and necessary hardware to adapt my 312 y-block to a GM 700r4 or any such bellhousings. The motor and transmission are going in a 1957 Thunderbird that I am in the  middle of doing a frame off restore. I had to do a little fabrication work around the top center cross member to clear the transmission pan. Last night I took the body off the rotissorie and set it back on the frame to rough things up and it fit better than Henry would of done it. Stock shifter will work with very little effort. The drivshaft will have to be lengthened about 3 inches. All and all I'm pleased with the results and I'm sure the old 312 will appreciate the ability to loaf along in high gear. If you have any specific questions give me a shout. apierce@ispmgt.com and I'll try and answer.
