Not Ranked
If you want lower rpms with cruising, an alternative to the TKO I/II, would be
1) A wide ratio toploader (2.78 1st gear) with a 3.07 rear. The wide ratio toploader still has closer spaced gears than a TKO, for better performance. First gear multiplication would be about 8.5:1, still good for a hole shot.
2) A richmond 5 sp, opt for the 3.04 first instead of the 3.27, and get 2.88 or 3.07 rear gears, for a even closer gear spread, and yet give lower highway cruising rpms.

The crowd was jumping up and down as he stunned the Chevrolet drivers by easily passing the entire field to finish second behind MacDonald's other team Cobra. The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
