You would be happier with something built more for torque. A 400 with vortec heads and a 220 cam. Now thats fun.
Matt, I agree with Wade here. I think the stall is way low and a bit more gear would help wake it up. 4.10 to 4.56 would help bring it alive. @ 3,500 to 3,800 stall would be a big difference. What intake manifold is on it? A dual plane would help the lower and mid range torque. What total timing are you running? Does it bog out of the hole? I had a Chevelle with a 355 that went quicker with a 650 carb than the 750 and that car was lighter and had 4.10's with a 3,500 stall. My total timing was 40-42* and I had a little more compression than you.
