The '87 w/ M46 came with 3.54 gears; I put a 3.73 locker in mine. It pulls HARDER (as one would expect) with the 3.73s. BTW, gas mileage is identical.
There should be no difference in gearbox ratios, unless you have a very early M46, in which case 1st. is higher than the later ones. "Reving out without much pull" sounds like a slipping main clutch or OD sprag clutch.
