And a great adventure it sounds like for sure. Great read.
I see you have had that car for a long time. You listed the disc brakes and sway bars, but what other mods have you done to make it so reliable? What speeds do you go on the highway?
Nothing, the engine was recently rebuilt. I made a virtually identical trip 10 years ago, drum brakes, no sway, worn engine. The Cooker bias look radials like to grab grooves. I’m the adventurous type, long as you are prepared who cares.
If you have driven your car a accumulated 2500 miles without issues then there is no reason you should worry.
I cruise at about 70, no problem pushing 80 to pass, even if the speed limit was 80 I’d probably cruise at 70
