My "freeway flyer" is a 3.88 with a Bus 4th gear. This was recommended to me by
a friend years ago, and it's great!! I can actually pass going uphill. One
downside is with a small (stock) engine things feel sluggish and 4th is pretty
useless.

I thought all T3's after '65 were disc, making them 4 lug.
