With all the torque from a BB, it doesn't need to be turning 3500rpm on the highway. I think you'd love the the .82 OD (I do) and the shifting is greatly improved by going to a better shifter. Much like going from the stock Ford shifter on a toploader to a competition plus. To sum it up, if you have the means, time, ability etc. do it and I don't think you'll look back.
