I've had several old Camaros(67-69) that came with the Powerglide 2 speed automatic and 2.73 gears! You could take those cars out to 70 mph in 1st gear but they were complete dogs off the line. Switch to a TH350 3 speed automatic and 3.55 gears and they came to life without killing the highway cruise speed. 3.73's and a 5 speed should be a pretty cool combination.
