If you're sticking with the 2.73 rear gear I'd say use the TH350. The
rear gearing you currently have is so low (numerically speaking) that an OD
unit would probably not even let your engine run in its power band.
Sorry, can't be more specific as I don't know the OD drop on the 4R, or
your rear tire size. Are you indeed sticking with the 2.73s? They will
"highway" all day long! You don't need to worry so much about an OD gear
until you get to around, say, 3.55 at the least. More common would be to
use them with something around 3.73 and higher.
My two cents...
Tom
