Torque is torque no matter how light the car is. I remember someone bringing me a small spline toploader out of an ERA with a stock medium riser 427 with the input shaft twisted like a barber's pole. The car had BFG street tires on it and was a street car with no trips to the drag strip.
One thing to remember about using an overdrive transmission is the engines being used in most Cobras are not made to run ultra low rpm's on the highway. You could be doing more damage than good by trying to have the best of both worlds. The cars the overdrives were made for have computers and fuel injection to keep everything in check at low rpm cruising.
