What I would do is keep the AT, get an A14, and swap in a higher final drive center section "pumpkin".
Although 3.7 accelerates slower than the 1200's 3.9, it will reduce the RPMs on the freeway. The good news is that the higher torque of the A14 will pull a 3.7 gear ratio no problem. (If you keep the same final drive, you have the same RPM issues you have had before). Also have an external AT oil cooler fitted as the 1200 transmission is aircooled and will need a little extra cooling with the big motor and high speeds.
A14 is a direct bolt in for an A12A. If replacing an original A12 some simple motor mount bracket adapters are needed. If you currently have a 2-bolt exhaust pipe a swap is needed for the A14 3-bolt type. Any exhaust shop can modify the end of the pipe.
