Swing Axle, TIV, 40 series tires???

So I did some searching and found alot on 901 boxes and other porsche stuff (interesting reading) here on GL. But I have a couple unanswered questions.
I'll be rebuilding my '63 S/A trans. and will be hooking up a 2.4 TIV to it, and I'm running 205/40/17's. My gear ratio is really bad in the city, I'm usually cruising in 3rd gear at 35-40 mph, and horrible on the freeway....4th gear at 3,600 rpm is about 65 mph.
So I think 1st and 2nd are fine but want to widen 3rd and 4th so I can cruise around 75 mph at 3,500-3,800 rpm.
I'm curious as to what gearing you guys are running for freeway speeds with 40 series tires and big motors? Thanx

Well after some more searching it dawned on me to check Jake's site. I found out some useful information, I'd like to get the stage "C" kit but not for 1,599.
I need a hopped up stage "B" kit, but not quite a stage "C"
