The Richmond overdrive , is not a "double overdrive" as some might think. 5th gear is 1 to 1 , & depending on which trans you get you could have a .76, or I beleilve a .62 6th gear is available. the trans runs right @ $3000, & can be had with a 1 1/8" x 10 input, or a 1 1/8 x 26. I chose the 26pline shaft, as most of the hy perf clutches are offered that way . You need a car bell, or a 67 or older truck bell to fit the trans , if you go 26 spline(center hole in the bell is different). I run a 4.10 rear gear, with a .76 overdrive......as far as how fast it will run, I dont know(not sure I want to either!) the truck will run 100mph @ 6000-6200 in 4th gear....& cruise all day long 85mph @ around 3000 in 6th(much like it was running 3.07 gears). the trans ratios go.....3.28/ 2.14/ 1.57 /1.24/ 1/ .76 . It fun to play with, but i do plan to swap a 3.40 gear in, for a few less revs on the open road. Have fun, crazyL Oops....missed a couple ? the Richmond 0verdrive comes with a Long manufacting shifter(one of the best I have seen on the market). if you run a bench seat, you will be swappin the handles(they bolt on with 2 bolts like most of the Hurst handles). on the clutch linkage, i used the stock setup, & added rod ends to the link rods to smooth up the 30+ yr old linkage(works great ).
