best rear end options for 65 with 302cid 380 HO
I have a 65 that I am restoing and would like to know what would be the best rear end gear ratio to go with my 302cid w 380HP also what would be the best options for the front end suspension to accomodate the weight

Rear ratio is always a comprimise. Primarily it depends on use, engine build, and transmission used.
For a T5 transmission and a high torque motor, I like a 3.55 as an all around gear; but I also cruise down the highway at 80mph a lot. If your goal is only around town, and want some spirited acceleration, then go with something a little bit lower, like a 3.75 or so.
