I think you used it with a close ratio trans so the jump between 2nd and 4th wasn't too big of a gap, can't remember though.
With all the new technology I wonder how hard it would be to get a set machined or rough cast then machined correctly.

That would be pretty neat to have in a truck. For Frankentruck though, I'm sticking with the sm319 3 speed with overdrive.
Now for Penny, I've tossed around the idea of picking up a Saginaw 4 speed, and the Saginaw 3 speed overdrive trans to add the overdrive unit to the 4 speed. People have done it before, and it would be pretty neat, but paying for those two transmissions to make one would start pushing me into used Tremec 5 speed price range
