I have a '31 RDPU with a 3.54 rear end. Light vehicle, high rear end. B engine with counterweighted crank. Shouldn't be that much different than a well built Model A engine. I am comfortable at 55 MPH. Above that the front fenders make the front end too light and it is subject to winds from passing trucks and winds blowing down canyons that cross the road.
