The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Max Speed of a Model A with 26% OD and HC Head

I saw 70mph in my 29 fordor once and it was a little scary. I have an inserted engine with oversize intake valves, B cam, 5.9:1 Brumfield head, dual B carbs, and a Borg Warner overdrive. 55-60 on the highway feels ok. Those front fenders act like wings and create lift if you go too fast...
