Hey folks how are you? Well I wanted to ask if any of you use your old mustang as a driver have you switched to EFI or an overdrive transmission? I want to start using my mustangs on my longer trips that I take on vacations but the problem for me has always been that on the freeway these cars basically just don't cut it. Rpm's are up way too high and gas is getting guzzled too rapidly and at $3 a gallon that's becoming an issue. I would imagine the t-5 tranny swap helps alot but what about changing the ring and pinion to more freeway friendly gears. Can that alone help very much? It seems like my Sister's '73 Grande cruises just fine at 70 mph and that's with a 302/c4. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
