I am glad to hear that. The 455 I am sure is a bottom end street monster. 3:36 is right next to my favorite 3:23 gears. My car was originally an OHC-6 so it came with 3:23 rear gears. Great take off, decent highway. My car has always been a wreck since I got it. The little bit I drove it just to move it up and down the driveway the 455 felt incredible. I now have a 1979 Trans Am rear with the disc brakes in it. It has 3:08 gears which are much better for highway use. I have a set of 3:23's that can go in, but my four speed is a Super T-10 with the 3:42 first gear. That much gear is too much for the 3:23 so I am leaning on keeping the 3:08's in there. My 1977 TA was set up that way. Even with the 3:08's I could start in second gear no problem.
