I put a Toyota W50 in mine:

* First Gear: 3.287:1
* Second Gear: 2.043:1
* Third Gear: 1.394:1
* Fourth Gear: 1.00:1
* Fifth Gear: 0.853:1

Gearstick came out in the same place as it does in the later 140's with the remote shifter. Good ratio's with the 4.1 diff.

The T5 would be a stronger box, but that .68 5th gear would not be fun, you want .75 at the most. (.75 is awesome with a 4.56 diff)

It would be easier to get good ratios with a T9 box.
