Yes, definitely sounds like a nice car. Along with the others, I would re-think the 5th gear choice. I presently have a 3:31 gear and a top-loader 4 speed. My plan is to sell the Top-loader and shifter and get the TKO 600 with the .82 5th gear.
I have a 05 Mustang with the .64 5th gear and 3:55 gears and unless I am doing 80 or better, it is a dog in 5th. Granted, the mustang engine is not a 482 with gobs of Torque to maybe make up for the low RPMs of cruising in 5th with the .64 OD.
