Just my 2c...lightweight car....v8-60 needs reving hard or it´s dead boring...that overdrive gearbox is almost as heavy as the engine...
If you and that sixty is going to be good friends you will have to adapt to letting it rev.
I would not bother with the overdrive in that setup...keep it light and run it hard !
