Larry, I recently upgraded the brakes, new cast iron drums, brake shoes, Ted's floater kit etc

I also recently did the rear axle when I installed a new gear set (3.54:1). I have a freshly built touring engine with HC head, counterbalanced crank etc so I am confident the 26% over drive and 3.54:1 gears should work well from what I have read on here.

I might grab a new u-joint just in-case. Thanks for the response. Any other suggestions??
