the shift points are going to be lower, put in lighter governor springs for later shifts below 40mph, use lighter weights for later shifts above 40mph and WOT shifts.

Your converter may lockup sooner. Do it the right way and change it with new speedo gears.

I went from 2:73's to 3:73's. There should be no other issues. Shift point will not change or anything like that. Just hold on tight, your car will now have some torque!
