Webster, yep, you could cruise along at 55 mph just fine with the 4.10 and your stock 216 babbitt pounder. I’ve been running that gear for a couple of years now in my other wise stock 1950, 3604 and it’s great. I’ve put about four or five thousand miles on the old gal since I swapped the gear. On the rare occasion where I might need to pass a REAL slow poke I do kick her up to 65 mph but don’t hold it there for very long. I’m able to cruise down the tollway now as long as I make sure I stay in the far right lane.
It’s a straight exchange, just clean things up good, reseal and bolt the new one in.
