Here's a DUMB question!
Leaving next Sat to pick up my '69 FJ40 with a 350 Chevy and a 3 speed tranny. The dealer is highly rated on his restorations of classic cars (Over 400, 5 out of 5 ratings). My question is (I've never driven a V8 conversion and I am planning my trip to arrange route and motels), so how far and how long can I drive per day? I am planning a 70 mph on open roads (i.e. I-5, or HWY 395. I am currently using a 5 to 7 hour driving day. What would be reasonable figuring no problems such as blizzards, construction (I know=on I-5 or 395!)? Engine has ~ 18K on it.
