In retrospect, I should have gone with a 700r4. I already had the TH350,
though, so I used it. To compensate, I went with the tallest tire I could
fit in the rear. 255/85-16. There's a great website out there with
calculators for RPM and such:
http://www.ring-pinion.com/calculators.shtml
According to the numbers, I'll be taching 2572 at 60 mph, and 3000 at 70.
I don't know what this'll translate into as far as gas mileage. We shall
see. I should be able to tow a small house if nothing else!

Nice start
the only question I have is your trans/rear end combo this could be quite
expensive gas wise
Why not a 700r?
Love the interior, my wife was a big part of the decision process as far as
she new, but it kept me spending with out lectures.
