I should have sat down and done the math to determine what RPMs the engine
would have been going at 60 mph or so when it basically exploded. If anybody
wants to do it, it was a 63 VW notchback - the one with the pancake engine.

That was a 4.12  ring and pinion....top /cruise speed was 74 mph@4400rpm.  
With a .86  overdrive in 4th...    1st was 3.89  or so....  that's approx. 
15,210 rpm!!    ggg
