Dad I'd bet much of the difference in our experiences is your 4.56 gears compared to my 3.08s. My motor isn't spinning as fast at 70 as yours does at 50.

Is it a Canadian GMC or a replacement motor? My '52 GMC came with a 228.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
