Re: high speed rear end question
I have a 1930 TS and several years ago decided to set it up for touring and also just regular fast cruising here in S. Calif. So I had the Snyder 5.5 head installed, along with the Mitchell OD....it is a great combination, even if you don't tour. I like to drive 55 or so, and it is amazing how quiet a nice running A is with the OD, and with the HC head it pulls it very nice, even up gently grades. The Mitchell is expensive, but one ride in a car with it is an eye opener!

2000x14.75 (1/2 tire dia)=29500 3.54x.72% overdrive=2.35x168=395 (rounded off) 29500 divided by 395= 74.68 MPH @ 2000 RPM's Take a few horse's for that |

Re: high speed rear end question
I have had a 3.54 rear end on backorder for the last two weeks. I don't have a high compression head but plan on one at some point in the future - probably along with a new head gasket if and when needed. Hopefully my coupe will pull fine with it since its lighter than other models. In an ideal world I'd go standard and get a michell OD but there are many other things I'd want to spend that kind of money on first like tires and shocks. I'm anxious to see how it drives when I get it back together! Hopefully soon! In the meantime I'll keep incessantly checking my email and doorstep waiting for that darn gear to ship/arrive!
