First, reconsider efi over carbs. I have the holley sniper efi (don’t know about weber efi), and especially for the money vs the weber carb set up, it is an absolute no brainer.

Second, the tremec with the .82 is a much better choice than the .68. Having said that I have the tremec 6 speed with both gears.

I think the top loader is a relic of the past - bottom line: don’t torture yourself without overdrive gears.
