I have a 60 Champ 5E6 that has a 170 OHV (I know its the wrong engine) and 4 on the floor. It is pretty wrapped out at 70 so I am looking at options to get it geared better. I would like to get overdrive in it but all I have seen of overdrive is on the column or the 5 speed on the floor. I have a 59 lark with 3 on the column and overdrive but converting to the column I assume would be complicated and it is on a flathead so I don't know if it would even work. I am also considering hunting down a 245 like its supposed to have. I need to look in the diff to see its ratio. It doesn't have a tag on it so I might do that this weekend. What are my options to get overdrive for either engine and if I do re-gear what do I need to know to get the right gears? Thanks in advance.
