If you are going with the small block for gas mileage, you should consider a 4 speed AOD. They have an overdrive 4th gear and work great. The ones Ford used in the late 80's can be installed into a car without a computer. You use a Lokar kickdown set up off the carb to make them shift. I don't know all the details but I own a Cobra with that set up and I know the guy that installed it.
