[moparguy]

Dan, thanks for the compliment, the Moparguy handle comes from another of my vices, the 340 Duster I've had for 46 years is shown below. But...the 51 is photobombing the Duster. And I do agree with your wheel suggestions, a couple weeks ago I did attach hub cap clips (from Chevy's of the 40's) on one wheel. Unfortunately they're too short and I'll need to MacGyver up some 1/2" spacers.

Ross, I've just (last week) installed the 4.10s, replacing the stock 4.57 gears we had on the Luckenbach trip. On that drive, happy cruise was 55 mph. Now with the 4.10s and local two lane driving, it's looking like 60 to 65 is going to be very OK.

I've got a minor but annoying vibration that occurs at about 62mph, this is a bit of a speed limiter. Brakes are another.

If you're asking due to considering a T5, my suggestion is do your due diligence, find a transmission with a .72od and go for it....you'll like it.
