Message:		Curtis, You might want to confirm the gear ratio of your rear axle first. It might be a 3:91, 4:10 or 4:88... all of which would contribute to higher RPMs. A four speed from a car would probably not be a "top loader" and you'd have to change your floor shift set up. As each tranny [truck & auto] likely has a final drive ratio of 1:1 in 4th gear, you might be better served to knock your axle ratio down unless you can find an overdrive tranny [NP541?] that would bolt in with a few slight modifications. Other things such as input shaft length & diameter will be crucial as well. John
