richmand makes the mest gears. personally Iwould go with 355 gears, but it also depends on you tire size.

Unless your engine is built to handle 3.50:1 gears you'll be sorry. If it's a box stock 289 you would be happier with a set of 3.00:1. They won't kill your gas mileage...but you will get a little better off-the-line performance. Summit Racing will get you a complete package with bearings and crush sleeve. Thumbs up for the Richmond gear sets...and good luck with your speedo after you change them.

Thanks for posting Don.  This thread is a couple of years + old, and I doubt you will get an answer.  Just look at the top of each poster's reply and you will see the date of March 2006.
