3.18 or 3.38 would be ok.
Try this and see what you want.

3.38 if its Indy suspension or 3.54 if its live axle. If you don't want the hassle of building the car, my fury is for sale ;-)

Reverse gear - standard reduction type starter motor (I used a Honda civic one), if its live axle then you mount the gear on the engine end or the
middle of the prop (like I have check out my website) or if its Indy, then mount gear direct to rear diff input flange
