I put an overdrive trans in my 51 behind a 235. I absolutely love it. 2250rpm @ 70 mph. Instead of a full throttle switch, I used a dash mounted toggle to interrupt the relay ground wire from the governor. Tun switch off, lift throttle and that’s how I gear down for passing or hill climbing. I live in the mountains so I wanted that option instead of wide open throttle.
Thanks for the "report", Sludgeburner.
You might as well "fully identify" your truck-set-up:
"overdrive trans in my 51 behind a 235"
what make/model/year overdrive transmission?1951 truck
what make/model/size?235 engine
what year and original "application" (car/truck and what model-vehicle)?Thanks
