3.55 with OD should be pretty good. From current experience,
2400rpm=70mph is quite fine for the 195.6 OHV, in OD. Still has
enough headroom to pass, and torque remaining is OK. I think
it's close to perfect because it's mileage is wildly sensitive
to driving style; if I have a heavy foot it gets 18mpg average,
light foot 23mpg.

3.77 axle, 26" tire, .7 OD.
