Ours has a 4.058.

You planning wheel skirts and an at least partial undertray? That parachute of a rear bumper/cover assembly is some low-hanging fruit.
New 5th gear will happen when clutch replacement happens. Wheel skirts and under tray will come eventually. And I'll move up to 15" wheels with smooth covers in the not to distant future.
