John-
I had the same thing with the rear end in my '50 3600. I have a 235, and
the rear end would howl at 40-50 MPH. So I put in a higher speed rear end,
and it made a world of difference. And I kept the 235, which is a fantastic
engine. Next step will be to replace the transmission with a 5-speed from a
Chevy S-10, and keep the 235.
