Default Re: Want o go highway speeds ??? Need opinions.

How much are the mitchell overdrives? Will they fit a 1938 model 85 1.5 ton?

Block might need a flush also, pull heads and dig out with a coathanger/long screwdriver/or both, to get sand out.


Lower rpms with power at any speed is a good thing. OD isn'e a bad idea. Running 7.00 tires, 3:78 rear, and a mitchell 36% od, cruise 70. Bit much at 36% OD, but my engine can pull it so far.


Mitchells aren't cheap, but no frame cut or open driveline conversions. Both take time and money. Put the mitchell in a day and still have my original torque tube and didn't need to do anything else.



Maybe a wash as far as money, I don't know. Don't know if it's better either. I like it.


Let us know what ya did. good luck.
