I appreciate your and Rick Black's advice.But I have a few questions on the engine modifications...

: With overdrive and engine mods, you can cruise at 60-65, but doing so with stock mechanical brakes is not the brightest move.
: Here in the Dallas club, the "Tour Car" of preference is the '31 Slant Window Fordor with Hydraulic vacuum assist brakes, pressurized and inserted engine, and overdrive.

Is an inserted engine an engine with inserted main bearings instead of babbit?And is a pressurized engine one with a pressurized cooling system?Doesn't coolant seep in through the head gasket if its pressurized?

What types of overdrives are there?

I've read on the BB about hydraulic brakes, but haven't seen much on engine mods beyond using "B" cranks.
