Rob, the 57 D500 bell is left side manual clutch so no good for me. 315s are as expnsive as Hemis to rebuild, but premium built 315s may be hard to come by.
A friend has a 64 W300 with 4.88s and 38" Michelens and I figured his effective ratio is about the same as my 4.10s and 33" tires. You would have a slightly higher ratio and so starting in the 4.05 2nd is probably just about right.
