A 998 will have to work harder to get to 70mph than a 1275. The final ratio
of engine rpm's to tire's distance/feet traveled also affects what you feel.
Check to see what the 1960 has, rpm vs. tire travel. Some would put a larger
tire on the back if they don't want the engine turning so fast at 70mph. If
you want acceleration to 70, then your motor will have high rpm's when
you're there cruising. Bill in Oregon

Subject: [Spridgets] More highway speed for a bugeye?
So i have a 74 midget with a 1275, rib case, and a stock rear that will do
70+ on a highway no problem. Last year I bought a 60 bugeye that was
modiifed by the previous owner to have a 998 cc motor, rib case and a stock
bugeye rear. It has more trouble with highway speeds. Could I swap out the
stock bugeye rear for a late model midgets? Would that improve performance?
Thanks
Ryan
