    Best Mods to Get a CUCV to go 75mph?

    That's pretty good. Imagining going over 55mph stock is funny because of the difference in gearing. I felt like the engine was going to explode with the 4.56s. Not a problem! Hope it all works out. Don't push the back too far.

    Best Mods to Get a CUCV to go 75mph?

    I will say two things really dial back the handling. Stock height and age springs. The clapped out reverse arch front springs at the age they are at suck.

The key is a 4L80...first step in...
