Sorry, boys. I guess I might make more sense if I made more sense. But then I, myself, wouldn't know what I was talkin' about. And then where would I be? I know what you're both saying about displacement/power. But I also know that if I wanted more ponies, I could make this engine breathe and spark better with available modifications. I'm pretty sure, though, that the closer ratios will get me up any hill without winding the engine too fast, and I almost never use the low gear in my SM. The odd time I get into a real bind I could always slip the clutch to get hooked up on the NV. Since at this point power is not so much a problem as engine overspeeding, and being unable to keep up what I think of as a minimum safe speed (50 mph), I have good reason to believe that these gear mods I'm talking about will give me what I need most. Once I have this, I might want more power, but that's for later.
The NV will go, George, with a pilot shaft change.
