I think the thing that amazed me more than anything else about my M715 was how stable it was off road. I had put a Detroit Locker in the rear and a Lock Right in the front. It did not do much as far as articulation, but it was perfectly happy hanging one wheel three or four feet in the air...

Yes, and he did an awesome job. If I remember right, he went with a five or six speed. In the end though, he spent way more than he gained. I watched it go a couple of times on Ebay, not sure what the final selling price was. The amount and quality of fabrication he did was amazing. Glen

That is a fact, it would be much cheaper to just put in a high winding small block and call it good. I was a member at the Zone for a long time and they do have a wealth of knowledge there. Cruise their ads and you can buy about any used part your heart desires. My favorite M715 was one built...

The last one I converted to a V8 ran great, the best running M715 I had ever driven. The clutch bearing went out and the clutch was shot. After searching for a while, I got frustrated and went V8. They really work nice with a 305/327/350 Chevy, they are geared so deep, you really do not need a...

You spent a lot of time there, but all of your rpms are higher than the stock setup with 35.4 inch tires at 45 mph, which is about all they should run and that is really too hard for extended distances. I get 2507 at 45 mph for the stock setup. Those who are really in the know recognize that is...

I had four M715s, two of which would run 60 if you stayed in the carburetor long enough. Two of which would not go over 45 without a tow. One of those was an ex Forestry truck with less than 7,000 miles on it. It was just flat gutless. Anyway, we are asking an awful lot of an engine with a...

The M715 had no power to spare in stock form, it was a load for the original engine. I think dropping the engine rpm by raising the gear ratio will make the load more than the engine can pull. It is pretty optimistic to think the little six is going to be able to pull a M725 75 mph. I am betting...
