Nick, Give some serious thought to changing rear gears. A 4.11 is gonna be miserable at any kind of sustanded highway speeds. I've done the tour three times and twice in my 65 Elky with 3.08s. I drove it day in and out at above 3500 RPM. At that RPM you will be making less than fifty MPH.

My 68 ( a 396 with 2 big 4 barrels sitting on top) also has 4.11's.. And I can tell you I would NOT
even think of doing the Power Tour ...
Honest I set this car up for driving in and around town...plus almost weekly runs down the 1/4 mile
and it WORKS....but just would not for any "touring" like driving....
There is a GREAT Saturday Night Cruise in place in a town 30 some miles away that requires that I drive on the interstate to get to... This cruise in attracts 400 cars almost every week and I really enjoy going...
SORRY but running 30 miles at anything close to 65 mph is just NOT FUN....even slowing down to 55
only adds to the frustration....
So I usually take another car....
The Power Tour would just NOT be enjoyable for me IF I had to worry about the car every minute...
