Wade,
I have a mid 60's BW 3-speed OD hooked behind my '54 235 with a '62
positraction truck rear with 3.90 gears. This has setup has good starting
acceleration and will pull 65-70 in the interstate without over-reving the
motor. In high gear OD, it equates to about a 2.73 gear ratio by my
calculator. I think this setup is the best of both worlds. It all looks
stock with the column shifter, but will keep up with today's traffic.
