heres the thing about deeper gears, camper = heavy and a friggin sail can your rig right now hold 70 mph on the interstate??
i guess that will be okay for now but you want to keep your cruising rpm up about 2900-3300 with that .440 cam
In 5th and on flat. With the pedal between 1/2 &2/3 of movement . Sometimes getting into the 36 carb.
I ran 33s ad 32s on highway with 5.29s for a few years. Really drivable and good mileage too. I usually broke 20 mpg after taking the speedo difference into consideration. You could load the thing up like crazy and it pulled passes in 4th gear no problem. You could push headwinds in 5th most of the time.I think your 4.88/32" combo should produce similar results.
Nice find heliPilot! Someone needs to rescue those beauties 4xChinook, Thanks for sharing your project. These Chinooks are beyond cool . I've seen lots of toy motorhomes but these are a bit different and I dont think Ive ever seen one in person. I still think a 3.4 would be sweat under the hood. I just got to drive a 3.4 taco and they scoot. looking forward to seeing this progress.
For me, I think the interior will be the most exiting part to see. who needs a house when you got a Chinook The possibilities are endless
