I agree - the WR toploader can just about eliminate the need for a 5 speed OD tranny. With a 3.31 rear mine just moves off by letting out the clutch without touching the accelerator. I think a 3.07 rear end with the WR and an FE would work fine. The rpm drop on upshifts would not be optimum for the dragstrip or road course but on the street you won't notice it in this light of a car.
