145 axle ratio 140-160 1974

I have a 1974 145 wagon with a 4 speed manual (no overdrive), and I was wondering if a different ring and pinion combination can be installed in the defferential. I believe the stock axle is 4.11:1, and I was hoping to change to 3.83:1 or something for bettwr gas mileage.

Anyone seen such a thing?
