Guys -
I can't speak for all M35's, but mine would go faster on level road with an
overdrive gear. Like I said, I don't want to set the land speed record, just
5-10 more mph without winding up the engine.
Folks, the question was not why would I want to, or would I be guilty of
screwing up a rare truck, or I could kill myself driving it, but simply
could a person open the transfer case, re-arrange the existing gears on the
shafts, and come up with 1:1 and overdrive.
Just an idea. Nothing more.
Thanks -
Mark
