The T56's extra gear allow you to cruise around city limits @ 2k rpm/40mph. Hit the highway within the city limits @ 2k again only in 5th @ 65mph & then once out on an open stretch of interstate @ 2k & 70+ mph in 6th.

Ideal ratios but not the easiest swap option because of size & cost.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
