brake conversion for 57 IMP -Why

Why would you want to do such a thing.  Due to the weight of your car and 
adding any other transmission would be like going backwards in torque usage.

Take the wheel diameter vs the alxe ratio vs the torque range of your engine 
and then lower the torque rpm range to what you would driving at and you have 
lost.  You would be looking at corn fields outside of Topika and not using the 
over drive so that you could keep up with a Kia.
