Hi JD,
I have a poly 318, Dennan overdrive and 1100-16s. Running the 5:83 gears and I can do 60. I was looking for a comfortable 50 and have achieved that.
Running the stock 230, the overdrive alone will give you 50 no problem, but if there are any hills in your part of the world, you will be back to crawling over the tops in 2nd gear, and then loving the overdrive on the way downhill or the flat stretch on the other side of the hill.
As Vermont has a "few" mountains here and there (we will never be called the Nebraska of the East!) that scenario was what prompted me to upgrade the engine to a 318.
Tim
