Overdrive for an old 300E

Before I order a replacement trans I would like to know if anyone has knowledge of using a newer overdrive trans behind the 103 engine. 3000 RPM for highway speed seems excessive. My Buick runs 1600 RPM at 60MPH and is about the same size car. Engine life and fuel consumption could be greatly extended if that ole six could slow down a little.
