You do realize that you have to modify the rear of the trans?

Best cruising ratio depends on several factors you haven't addressed:
Engine horsepower/Torque
Location flat or hilly
city or highway driving

If basically a stock early Ford, you already have the best differential. Relatively easy to change ratio to a wide range of stock Ford ratios. As pointed out in the previous post, to change to a modern differential would pose several major obstacles.
