In the last week I have put 600 miles on my M37 with our 360 V8 conversion, PS and disc brakes. It has 900 x 16 NDTs and 5:83 diffs. Comfortable cruise is 45-50 mph, I have had it up to 65 (more excitement than this old man needs). I never take it out of 4th unless I come to a compleat stop. from 30 mph it will accelerate up a steep grade continuously until the driver looses his nerve at about 60 mph. Have been trying my best to break things and haven't succeded yet. It is very much like driving an overweight sports car (with 5:83s I can out run most cars up to 40 mph). The only unpleasent thing about it is the noise from the gear train.
