Default Re: 3.27 Ring and Pinion

I prefer good low and mid range power than really higher top speed

I feel that 3.27 gears would cause low and mid range power to suffer
. even with the mentioned engine mods. Three fifty four gears would be a better choice in my opinion . Henry felt that 3.78 was a better choice and so do I . If I need higher cruising speed I will chose the safer modern vehicle . Usually the passengers don't survive a high speed wreck in the model A . I prefer fifty MPH cruising speed and it feels plenty fast enough for a 90 year old vehicle . With a body that is partly framed in wood , I feel that it is nowhere near as safe as a later model car .
