By the way, my MKII will cruise all day at 70 with no signs of straining
and power to spare, I love it! >>>
My '57 1500 cruises quite nicely at 70mph, but I sure wish it had a higher
gear. I can push towards 80mph with no trouble, but then I'm
approaching redline, which I'd prefer not doing too often, and it starts
overheating.
I guess that brings up the question of how would I add a higher gear?
Find a 5sp tranny (such as ...?), or make 4th a bit higher (what could I
slip in there when I get around to doing a rebuild?), or how 'bout a higher
rear end (and what would I do there?).
