I picked up the same thing in a for was free to haul away converted to a 350 sbc. not saying that one is work less bought my 53 chevy 3100 for $800 rust free.




My guess is that the rear end is geared very low and would be a killer on milage and on top speed with a resonable rpm. If it had a two speed rear end that could help Ed ke6bnl
