I'd like to get a comfortable 65MPH out of it if I needed to.. everything i've read suggests the stock rear end gearing and 4 speed tranny with a 216 engine has a top speed in the 45 to 55 range.
I've seen some talk about a rear end "kit" but i'm not sure what kind of a PITA that would be.
Any ideas?
an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
