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.
