I had 5.13s front and rear in my 74 scout and a 345 V8! I had a max cruising speed of about 60mph at 4000 rpms, but I could tow your house off the foundation.

50:1 with a V8 would be pretty powerful.
The crawl ratio appears to be lower due to the 4.10:1 axle gears.
The auto tranny 1st gear is 3.06.


Meybe they will put in stronger tie rods too?

The 5-speed stick and front axle would have to be up-graded to handle a V8. The t-case should be fine.
