3.45 is the tallest that will fit in the original housing. Since it's only
5% below the original 3.7, it's hardly worth the effort. It's also possible
to build up an OD with a taller ratio, using parts from other cars (AH I
think, maybe Jaguar).

That actually shouldn't be a problem with the stock gears and overdrive ...
90 mph is only 3780 rpm in 4th OD on original size tires.
