    Instead of changing the rearend, look for a factory 3 speed stick/overdrive tranny to swap out for the one you have. It's a bolt-in replacement and it'll give you much better highway speed. Easier than a rearend swap too.

    thanks for the reply squablow. i have heard the overdrives are hard to find and if you find one they are exspensive.
