Before you go to all the work of a conversion, calculate what overall ratio you would have in 5th. Install some tall tires to mimic 5th and see if the car can pull top gear without constantly downshifting from original 4th to 3. Also, at high loads and low RPM, vibration might become an issue.
Thank you, that's something to think about for sure! Not sure I can do the tire setup you suggest though.
