I would also like to lower it as well.
Any advice? | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | An overdeive transmission is a good idea for more speed.
I bet it's roadworthy as it is if in good shape.

An NV4500 is a stout enough transmission, more expensive and a little more work to swap.
Both will turn up in searches here.
