Highway gear
Good evening all. Your help will be much appreciated. I have a 54 Ford F100, 223ci six with Ford O Matic. Currently geared 3.73 I want to be able to drive 65mph. without turning 3000rpm. Do you think the six cyl. can pull 3.23 final ratio?

You should hit 65 at about 2600 rpm with that and a 3.23.
Heres a fun RPM calculator:
