1st gear 11:59 / 8:37
From this chart, I'd almost think I could simply leave it in OD.

Quite frankly, you're probably right on that theory. The FINAL 1st gear ratio in my '65 Vette with 2.20 1st gear and 3.55 rear is 7.81 (actually a tad stiffer than your 8.37) and it leaves a stop light perfectly fine without any fuss. DD
