LOL, Yeah, I know what you mean. While my flathead 4 sounded like it was gonna grenade at 3,000 RPM, the 60HP was rated at 4,000RPM. After over 40 years, I found out that the HP was WAR TIME rating, which was only good for 100 hours. That finally made sense, as I doubt it could have kept doing that kind of rev's regularly. I eventually put a Buick odd-fire 3.8L V6, which really made it move! I eventually replaced the V6 with a Hot little Chevy Corvette V8. I could beat Mustangs off the line with those 5.38 gears.CJ. Top speed 45mph.
Question: CJ3B or CJ5 as both were made in 1956.
