My Jag rear end is 3.31:1 and the .8 overdrive seems like my choice too.
I just have to figure out what shifter option I need to take. My shifter is 9.5" From the bell housing/trans mounting surface. 7" moves it too far forward but I can have a shifter stick that bends backward. I have to seriously start making my measurements and see what conflicts I have. The 12.68 shifter location moves it too far back and I don't really like the curved forward look that the original had.
I love the location of my Super T-10 shifter and so I have to come to terms that a new location that may not be as visually pleasing.
Thanks for your comments,

Perhaps I have a bell housing & clutch fork combination that is not totally suitable for my application and that is why I have a space problem for the external slave.
