Jim, thank you for your insights. Given everyone's recommendation, I will definitely go for the tonneau cover, and already decided to get the pusher fans and the spats. I think that I will have a further discussion with Peter about the transmission and rear gearing based upon your input and Fred's comments. I wouldn't want anything too tall either. My concern about the steering hub is getting it through inspection here in NJ or I would go for it. Already decided about the battery in the trunk and like the idea of the disconnect behind the seat. Also am leaning toward the original cans. Great input and thanks again.

Go with the 3.31 and the TKO 600 with the .82 5th gear. That's what I have and is a very nice all around set up. 1st is still usable (with a 3.54, you will run out of 1st gear very quickly) and in 5th you can do 75 or 80 and be turning about 2700 (if my memory is correct).
