Well I am back with a new idea here goes in the truck I call a Jed Clampett special is a 1955 flat head 6 the gear ratio for the 2 speed rear dif is actually lower in the 53 than in the 55 and it looks like the same tranny. I am not sure if the flat head is 235 or a 261 have not been able to get to it for snow
but would this engine get her up to and maintan 55 mph. The other thing is the flat head 6 is it the correct or did someone bolt up a car engine to a truck tranny or was the 55s flat heads?
