I find it very drivable as long as it is empty. Hook a trailer on behind it and it does not have enough grunt to feel happy going down the road.
If you want a good highway friendly driver, and do not expect to haul much of a load, I think the 3.08 is a pretty good choice.
If you want to pull a heavy trailer you have the wrong motor to start with...
1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
