Sorry but 2.73s & a 5 speed would put criusing rpm over 70 mph.Timing wouldn't even be all the way in cruising city streets.Not a good idea.
I have 3.27s & a WR toploader which was changed by David Kee from a CR.This is the perfect compromise for a 4-speed set-up.
Five speeds:To put 5th gear cruising in the right spot,3.55s or higher.But this gives you a mostly useless 1st gear(3.27 1st & 3.55 rear)I BELIEVE Tremec is making a box with a 2.80 something 1st gear-this would cure that.
