The first chart is not readable, but you can find them online. Keep in mind that you have to match the input shafts, they are different!
The best combination, IMO, is a low rear axle ratio and close transmission gears with a higher 1st gear ratio. Gearing like is in the later Camaros (and Mustangs, but different input shafts) is close to the original Ford gearing and paired with rear axle ratios similar to the original gearing is the winning combination for fun driving. Again, IMO.
