    I would think that any big block Chevelle from that era would have a 12 bolt that would work. Probably the best compromise between power and economy would be a 3.73 gear.

    go to richmondgears.com and they got a calculator there you can use to determine what gears will work with what rpm you want.

    If you can find a 12 bolt out of a 66 or 67 , they are 1 inch narrower but will bolt right in. You can get more tire and wheel under it, I did this with my 70 with a 406=4 speed and it worked well.
