[FC] Best engine combo

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Mike,

With a 164 ci engine a 3.55 rear works quite well.  One question you need to answer is regular or premium fuel?  Generally speaking I'd choose a 95, the 110s are rather prone to ping from the factory for not much extra power.  Now, if you're asking for a combo you can build, then a 110 with milled 95 heads and 140 exhaust tubes and manifolds is where I'd start.
