That was the reason for my interest. I have nearly the same set up with the exception of the aluminum flywheel, and my rear gear is 3.50:1 I have a hole between 60 and 70 mph where the cam is not happy. It's not bad, but it's there. In Michigan, most highways are 70mph and 10 over is usually overlooked, so on the highway I will be fine, but the 55 mph two laners out in the country will be a fourth gear drive. I think his 3.73 will be perfect for the fifth gear OD.
