If your steering and brakes are up to higher speeds a Brownie transmission inserted in your driveline will give higher speeds. A Dana 70 or 80 and higher can give a single speed rear with higher ratios, might have to deal with disc brakes. One can also replace the factory transmission with an OD 5 or 6 speed transmission.
