My '36 Ford coupe is a DeLux 5 window with just about every accessory that Ford offered, and a few they did not offer, therefore it is a little bit on the heavy side.
The engine is a well built 59AB with a .060 overbore, trans is a 28 tooth column shift unit bolted to the original drive-line and 3.78 center section. The Columbia rear end is a '47-48 unit adapted to the '36 banjo, etc. using '37 radius bars.. A bolt together application.
During the 62 years I have owned the car I have driven it through out the eleven western states under ever road condition there is. I used the car as my everyday work car for over four years on the freeways of Southern California, then raced the car on the weekends at local drag strips and street racing.
The Columbia and the 3.78 gear ratio never presented a problem, in fact it was an advantage because I did not waste energy smoking my tires, in many races I never got out of 2nd over.
