    It's a good conversation starter, too. Later model owners frequently ask me what the extra shifter is for.

    Talking about a :v6: here not an F-head in this thread. ;)

    Not sure I'd run my :hurrican: that high for an extended period of time. It has a lot longer stroke than the :v6:

    ive got 5:38s with 33 inch tires and a warn overdrive. perfect. i can do 60 mph at about 2200 rpm with a sbc power-plant. the warn overdrive is good for 500 rpm and works in all gears and ranges. for four wheeling you really want the low gear rearend. the overdrive would be pretty easy to install, not cheap, about $1000.00. herm might have a better price or check ebay from time to time i see one on there.
