The 205V is a Direct. The last year of the 302 was 1959 when it was rated at 160HP @ 3800 RPM so you don't have to worry about over revving it. The 6.50/9.04 was the slower of the 2 ratios offered but if you put 10x20 or 11x22.5 tires on it, it will run 60. The 424 they sold would have had a 302 in it also that was rated at 3800.
