Have some of you guys out there experimented with taller than standard tire sizes in order to get a lower effective ratio when using a V8 conversion ???

I doubt you can make enough difference with tires to bother. Tires that will fit the car without radical fender surgury will only change the ratio by 5% or so, and nearly all of them will change it in the wrong direction. The stock sized 165SR15 tires are actually pretty tall (26" in diameter).
