taller 3rd & 2nd

I am in the process of gear selection for my tranny. I want to use a 3.88 r&p and a .821 4th gear.

Has anyone used this final drive combo ( 3.88 r&p/ .821 4th) with taller 2nd and 3rd gears?

I have found that using a stock 1974 3rd gear going into a taller 4th gear drops into a big hole when shifting into 4th.

Purpose:

I want a taller third to bridge the gap, and make it smoother transition. This transmission is suppose to be for highway driving but not sacrifice bottom end. I am currently using a 1641cc dual carb'd motor, but will be going to a 2270cc T4.
