I'm in the process of redoing a 70 Bee. Equipped with a 383 with a 4 speed transmission. In the past I ran a 410 gear in the rear end & the best that I can recollect the motor would turn roughly 28-2900 RPM at about 60MPH. Like I said the best I can recollect, if I'm wrong feel free to correct me. I have a 355 rear gear that I am thinking of using but I would like to know how many RPMs I will be turning at 55-60 MPH. The Bee will mostly be a cruiser but probably not too long of trips. However I would still like to have decent take off.
