The overall ratios for the 727 carb 3.5 aren't that different when you take the 1.003:1 case into consideration. The best mod I ever did was to fit up a 1.223:1 LT230 from a 5spd D1 to the back of the 727 and it actually accelerated

The need for the carb hi comp 3.5 to rev actually helped, it still got to the same top speed with the 20% lower ratio High range
Adam is using taller tyres, so using a 1.411 defender High range may actually help in this case, too.
The Hi comp carb 3.5 is actually pretty torquey compared to the low comp EFI donk...
