727 truck question

It's been a while since I owned one, but I'm thinking of getting another one due to knee problems, and their simplicity/reliability/cost effectiveness compared to later OD trans'. With 3.07's, what would be the cruising RPM going say, 75-80? Is this too much cruising RPM, and will my fuel economy suffer? Thinking of a truck w/ a 366 governor spring, upgraded turbo and intercooler. I used to have an early 91 w350 auto, it was great, sold in a fit of stupidity!!!
