Chris, I hope heat doesn't bother you. Rumor has it we'll hit 104~105 today.

Moparguy, yes...offhand that looks very close to the same as a .86 5th gear and 3.07 rear when you add in your 31 inch tires. The first car I owned was a 1936 Ford and as I recall it had 85 horsepower. Even so I never thought it was underpowered. It was originally purchased at the State Fair of Texas and had a special shift knob commemorating 100 years of independence. I kept that knob when it was sold and replaced it with a Pabst Blue Ribbon knob (which I wish I still had because I imagine it would be nearly as uncommon).
