Stock everything except for the Tillotson X.
I have no positive verification of the speed so part of this may be my Dad's parental exaggeration.
But I drove the same 3.54 rear end with a VERY worn out painted red Allstate engine at 55 on the Mid-Cape Highway at Rush Hour - and have told my tale about losing a connecting rod nut - and tenderly driving it home a couple of miles off the Mid-Cape.
With the 3.54 most any engine/car should do 55mph - easily and no sense of imminent dissolution.
