I currently have my '35 fordor sedan set up with 3.54:1 rear gears, 29/15 ('46-'48) transmission gears, a basically stock '35, 21 stud engine that's bored 0.030" over, with a slight increase in compression by milling the heads, and 600x16 tires. I absolutely love the performance this combination gives me.

PS....I like this gear combination to the point I'll be doing this same conversation in my '35 coupes and tudor sedan....if I'm lucky enough to live that long

These cars are drivers... on back roads as well as Interstate highways. I'm well beyond the age of street racing, drag racing, and the desire to break any land speed records at Bonneville. To me, Lincoln gears are for those who like bragging rights.
