      Definitely not breaking any records power wise, but trucks then were geared really low to make up for lower engine power. It's why Orwell is pretty much geared out around 70

    If you want to be competitive in todays world you will need to rip the guts out of Orwell and replace it with a big 600 hp engine with the appropriate high speed drivetrain that can handle all that extra power.
    If not all you are doing is spinning your wheels.
