Back in the 70's when that oil crisis hit, I had a new '74 GT 4-speed. Had the R&P changed from the stock 3.36 to the 2.53 and got terrific gas mileage. That led to buying a new '76 Monza 2.3 5-speed. It came with a 3.42 R&P, had that changed to a 2.56 and could only use 5th gear on flat road stretches because there wasn't enough torque available to maintain speed on any incline.
What R&P do you plan on using? I think the 700R4's top gear is less than .80:1 that my 5-speed had.
