<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>A 998 will have to work harder to get to
70mph than a 1275. The final ratio of engine rpm’s to tire’s
distance/feet traveled also affects what you feel. Check to see what the 1960
has, rpm vs. tire travel. Some would put a larger tire on the back if they don’t
want the engine turning so fast at 70mph. If you want acceleration to 70, then
your motor will have high rpm’s when you’re there cruising. Bill

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>So i have a 74 midget with a 1275, rib
case, and a stock rear that will do 70+ on a highway no problem. Last
year I bought a 60 bugeye that was modiifed by the previous owner to have a 998
cc motor, rib case and a stock bugeye rear. It has more trouble
with highway speeds. Could I swap out the stock bugeye rear for a late
model midgets? Would that improve performance?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
