Doesn't require downshifting as low as before. Also top speed on flat ground looks to be 60 Mph. I think it has enough power to use an overdrive and go faster. Will be seriously looking for a Clark 5 spd with overdrive now. Still looking for the 6 lug 22.5 rims as well to put radials on. Will be taking it to the Petit Jean car show this weekend. Jim
