I have a 482 in my Hi-Tech and went with the TKO600 with the .82 5th gear ratio. I haven't driven it yet so I can't tell how that combination would work but I drove with the .68 for 2 years and would not do that again. Sounds like a great project - you need to share pictures as soon as possible.
I have the 3.54 ratio with a TKO-600/0.82 in my ERA 289 FIA. I've very happy with this combination, and picked it after studying the TKO-600 0.64/0.82 threads here on CC (nearly a decade ago...).

I'm sure Bob at ERA could offer some sage advice here.
