Drivability question
Been a while since Iv'e done much and lots of changes, good and bad.
But here's the question I'm asking myself -- how "drivable" would a 401 w/auto be in a 'glass Model A pickup?
I've wanted to build one since I was a sprout and now have means/time to do it. I love low-end torque (drove Poppin' Johnnies as a kid) so the BB GMC's appeal to me.
But how will my antique engine out of a "New Idea" harvester handle long road runs and city traffic? (Assuming I get the gearing/tire size/etc correct)
I'd love to have the old torque monster in my truck but if something goes wrong two states away it could be a problem.
So what's you experience in long-distance cruising?
