it had good power before but the 4.10 was impossible to travel with
Mike-
Just based on my own experience, I sold my '94 Toyota 4x4, and have driven
my '50 3600 regularly since. I have a recently rebuilt 235 with the 4
speed. The rear end was stock, and although it had enough torque to pull
oak trees out of the ground, I wasn't comfortable driving on the interstate.
I installed a 4.10 rear end and big tires (16's), and can now run with the
big dogs, so to speak. Not only did these small conversions increase my
driving speed by about 40% at the previous RPMs, but obviously has increased
my gas mileage.
My 2 cents worth.
Good luck!
