390 RPM's

Does anyone know what kind of RPM's a 390 with a C6 and a D60 3.54 on 31x10.5 tires would be runnin at about 65? (It's in a '69 F-250 if that makes any difference) I know there is some long formula because i read it once but I was too young to care and forgot it


Thanks in advance!!!

There used to be a time when the post counter only incremented once for all your replies in the same thread, it was a lot harder to jack them up back then.
