    You might find that ratio a bit high for a 212 engine in a truck. I'd go with something around 3.5 to 3.7

    I don't know what part of the country you are in, but climbing a slight up grade could cause some lugging. Not a good thing with the splasher engines. I agree with Park, try for something a bit higher.
