At 5g's for a rebuild. How long you screaming at 3000 on rpms.

I'm a stocker, but run a mitchell just because it bolts in and lowers my rpms on a new rebuild. No harm no fowl, also give me two gears in reverse, hahaha

I'm beting on torque over highspeed rpms.

Thinking ... back 30's-40s people didn't travel more then 50mph on a road that was less then great for more then a bit. Wasn't till the hwy projects of the 50s that OD even came out on factory production. Maybe a coincidence.
