[oletrucks] cruising speed with 216

[RobXR250@aol.com]

what is the recomended RPMs that is safe for a 216 engine. i am looking to 
put in a new tranny/rearend combo and was wondering what you guys recomend. i 
also found somthing at gearzone.net called the rpm calculator. it lets you 
choose your tire size, rim diameter, tranny, and rearend ratio and will tell 
you what your rpms will be at a certain mph. really cool
