4 Speed w/ Overdrive Any Good?

I have one in my 74 duster (w/340). It has a 3.09 first gear (quite low) and a .72 od (quite high), the problem is the spacing between the gears is quite large and not that nice for driving around town. I have 3.92 gears in the rear which works well on the highway same as 2.86's for highway cruising.

The trans will work, strength is lower, shifter will work (may have to tweak the linkage a bit). You can machine the input shaft housing down to the B/E body size to fit your belhousing (don't mess with the bellhousing).
