1.It will get good mileage.
2.It will be very slow. Most Hondas and Volvos will blow by you easily.
The 2.88 gears,the stock 2 barrell carb, and the restrictive exhaust
make it a non-performer.
3. It will have a good top end. That's what it's geared for as
produced. Never could figure out why. Clutch life will be short with
those gears.
Hot tip: Original wire hose clamps=another .06 MPG
