Has anyone driven an AA with the Mitchell?

I don't know, but if I had an AA I'd sure want to install an overdrive in place of the intermediate shaft.
I have a 1929 Chevy 1 1/2 truck, and it sounds nice at 25 MPH in high gear. Not saying that is top speed by any means, but it sounds good at the speed.

I was wondering that too. I sent them an email and they said that they could do it with no trouble. However they did not know how well the worm drive rear end would tolerate it.
Anyone use one with a worm drive rear end??
Not necessarily looking to do over 50 miles an hour but getting into the low to mid 40's would make it something worth thinking about.

I'll let you know later this summer. I ordered a 36% unit from Mitchell earlier this year and it's supposed to be ready around the end of this month. The tech guy said they had made a few others for the shorter wheelbase truck (mine's a 28) and had very good reports from the owners.

I look forward to hearing how it works out for you!
