The trip went very well. Aside from one near accident anyway. Let's just say I see disc brakes in the future. I mostly drove 70 -75 mph. 15.9 mpg average over the last 600 miles which includes some city driving. I couldn't keep out of the left lane or my foot off the gas, it was riding so well with the new tires and shocks. A far cry from last year.
Didn't get to the swap meet. We were having too much fun otherwise. I also decided not the split my manifold and stick with the fentons and water heat. The reason is aluminum intakes like the one I will be using just get clogged with carbon deposits over time with exhaust heat. I did meet with a guy who lives near Vancouver WA that will split them. I gave him my extra core and checked out his amazing shop. I will post his info for anyone wanting him to split manifolds at the driveline shop and at inliners in the near future.
Last but not least, I have an rpm report for the Overdrive. 4th gear - 60 mph @ 2800rpm, 65 @ 3000, 70 @ 3200 and 75 @ 3400. 4th over - 60mph @ 2200rpm, 65 @ 2400, 70 @ 2500, 75 @ 2650, and 80 @ 2800.
