Yes it has.

Big blocks are different than small blocks, so you should talk to the small block owners. For my car, with a 0.82 5th gear, 3.42 rear gear ratio and the typical Yoko Avids, my big block cruises along happily at about 2,200 RPM at 70 mph. Don't listen to me though, talk to the small block people, but I think the 0.82 5th is the right choice. We can talk at the next breakfast.
