I don't see anything wrong with a short geared drift 5.0, You'll be WAY better off with gears as it will try to get them loose easier, and you can drift in mostly 2nd gear with more speed at the tires and higher tq multiple. Although I don't exactly think 4:10s would be best suited, a 3:55 or 3:73 would do wonders over the 2:73s you find in most. Your clutch will thank you later for it. I would also recommend ditching the trac-loc and going with some sort of locker or center section as you will be killing your clutch packs in no time if you do this alot.

Also, subframes, subframes, subframes!!!
