Downshifting to fifth on the highway is practically the same thing as simulating a 3.62 with sixth gear from a revs perspective.

Excellent comparison. Thanks for doing the math for us.

IIRC, it was around 3k RPM at 75-80 mph.

Boy do I miss that car. :(

I had a '67 cougar with a 351 Clevenland and 4.56 in it and a 4 speed manual. I could beat just about any car with stock gearing but 55mph at 3000 RPMs....

The ZHP has 3.15 in it. Not much different than stock 3.07 but it's a good gear for FI

The Bokchoys link, above, says manual ZHP's have a final drive ratio of 3.07.

Rob's car is also fast as shit. And extremely fun to drive. I still get a smile just thinking about it.

Bought the Schwaben/Foxwell tool from ECS, so I will be doing some diagnostics tomorrow.
Also came with a $100 voucher for wine, so I foresee being drunk in the future.

I filled her up with about 15 gallons of fuel...

At $4.049 per gallon [emoji24]
