Plus what about a Lakewood bellhousing. A heavier flywheel probaly with a adjustable pressure plate. I know Hill's V/S V6 truck runs a combo like this.

Larry's combo makes a ton more power and weighs a lot more, however...
The answer is that a Jerico would be a viable option. If you want a bargain, scout for a decent narrow gear DR4. I had one years ago that had had the gears narrowed up a lot! You could do that and still probably not break it.
