If you had an AOD behind your 302 with the 4:11's at 70 MPH you would be around 2250 RPM with it's .67 Overdrive. If you want to stay stick shift a T-5 swap would be a good idea. A 1952-54 Ford with a Ford-O-Matic rear end is a bolt in for your '50 the ratio was 3:31, the 3:73's won't gain you enough to be worthwhile. A 70's Maverick rear will fit many had a 3:00 ratio you will need a NEAPCO 2-0291 rear conversion U-joint.
