Hello Vincent ! Welcome to the Ford Barn. If I had a fairly original car , I would do all I can to keep it stock. If you were wanting to run at higher speeds I would look into a overdrive system. Your brakes are going to be a big factor in the safety department. I drive a 1935 Ford pick up , it is 100% stock. I can run the local highways at a comfortable
speed of 60MPH or 90KPH. I really would not want to run faster than that due to the entire drive system was not designed for high speeds.
Good luck on your cool car.
Vic
