Although this is up to personal preference, I would not like this that
much. There would be too much spacing between 1st and second for a
continuous acceleration. Also, the tall 1st gear can often be used as
passing gear at low speed, and you would loose this advantage with the "low
1st gear", although this conversion would be much cheaper than the GV. One
day, I will probably add this OD to my 68 sedan, along with 3.73 or 3.55
rear gears. This would be a perfect match to this car's "big" cam...
