    Id kill for 4.11 gears. :D Too be honest, 8.43 is in low range. High range is a much better 6.14:1. I've even thought about adding a "brownie" to help get the rpm's down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU3gZGUInd4&list=UUh4lL6aDK3D3GdfbTruY2cw&index=6&feature=plcp

    5.56:1 gears are horrible. My '59 has 8.43s so I know what its like screaming down the road in top gear at 45 mph. Post a picture of that '52!

    Most of the rockasilly kids in town have them on everything from bikes to their beater 50s cars.

    Could you survive?

    Im sure I could find work as a gas/diesel mechanic back then. I'm going to school now for CAD, CAM and manual machining. My current job pays just enough to cover bills and lets me play with my hours any way I want while I go to school. I am very fortunate compared to many others in my area...
