[V8Vairs] Optimal Ratio for a Crown Conversion?

[RHargr8188 at aol.com]

I'm using 3.08 with 225/60, 25.6",  tires on the rear and it works  well 
for me with a 327 engine, 3000RPM=74MPH. I do NOT try to spin the tire but  
have broke them loose, 1st & 2nd, and have not any problem to date. I  
modified, drilled and tap, a 6 bolt ring gear to match the 9 bolt carrier  with 
limited slip and 4-spider gears.

I am  curious about which rear end ratio Crown owners have and what ratio 
they think  might be ideal.  I have a 283 cu. in Chevy with a 3:55 and 25.1 
inch  diameter rear tires. Things seem a little "busy."   

Might a  3:27 might be a better choice?  Does anybody have a 3.08?  Is it 
too  tall? (especially for a relatively small, although very healthy,  V-8)

Thanks in advance for your  thoughts.

Paul
