I have the 3.78 rear. The nice thing about the Mitchell is if on a hill you can go from 3rd OD to 3rd standard to 2nd OD and even to 2nd standard although I have not found a hill yet that I can't make in 2nd OD.

My recommendation is to install a Mitchell 26% overdrive. This will give you many advantages. High gear overdrive for going above 45 mph comfortably and second gear overdrive for going up and down steep grades. The cost is about $2500, about twice the cost of changing out the ring & pinion. However, it is a good investment as it adds to the value of the car and it can be removed without leaving alteration to the car and they are easily sold.
