so I'm going to assume its a little of both, that it has to much of a gear in the rear (for towing), and that Its also my first vehicle without overdrive, so some of it might be normal but just not use to... either way, im not satisfied with the 3 speed so ill be looking for a tranny first, then see about gears... Thanks for all the replys

I've had similar experiences 1lo. I'm currently running a 350 with 3 speed manual and I still don't like pushing it past 60 or 65 on the freeway cause it sounds like i'm gonna blow it up. I know that's not the same as 45mph but I know the feeling. Just gotta get used to not having OD or drop an OD trans in it.
