I have a 99 F/L Classic with the 500 Detroit. It had a 10, direct, I think and did well...about 6mpg. The trans suffered a hemmorage of some sort so I threw in an old 9 over that laid out back of the shop for a decade or so. Killed this Detroit. It won't pull a hill. It takes a lot of work to start off on a grade without spitting out the drive shaft and worse of all, the mpg is about 4.6 now. On the bright side, if it were still the 70's, I could run 100mph plus!!!
