A: I can't remember if I mentioned the Olds for sale near me with Rocket 350 
and 200R4 for $200 (body is beatup)

Looks to be:
1st 2.74
2nd 1.57
3rd 1.00
4th  .67

With a 2500 rpm torque peak (optimum cruising RPM), 3.54 rear end, and 25" 
tires ( I measured two different 14" tires/1 on my Rebel/1 on my Isuzu 
truck) that figures out to be ~20mph 1st gear, 33 mph 2nd gear, 58 mph 3rd 
gear, 78 mph 4th gear.

That's probably about what you want for 4th gear speed if you go on the 
freeway much.
