Personally, I think you will be happy with the 351W/T-5 combination. With a 3.50 rear ratio at 65 mph I used to rev 2750 RPM in 4th gear with the toploader. The T-5 overdrive lowers it to 1700 RPM at 65 MPH and quiets things down quite a bit. Even with dual quad Holley carbs I can punch it in 5th gear and the car moves out without a bog.
