I'd go 3.5 rear ratio myself, but you could make a strong case for a 3.7. Either one is still "to" low, but I love to just "fry" the tires sometimes! The 5 speed is an excellent choice (by the way, so is the JBL).

I'd want the lower 5th OD ratio, I think thats the .6 NOT the .8? I had the HIGH 5th gear, TO dam high! Depending on the cam you could be in a low rpm range at "cruising" speed the motor will NOT like with that high 5th gear. So a low 3.7 rear might be the ticket!

351W built right, as suggested above, will be plenty power to require a glove box holding a change of underwear (that's what it for you know, lol).
