Overdrive means the wheels are turning faster than the engine so gas is saved, (5th gear would be overdrive) however if you want to accelerate quickly you will have to shift into a lower gear which would make the engine turn faster than the wheels.

Have a 1990 4.3 manual transmission can it work on a v8?

Assuming you have a 4.3 GM engine, the manual is probably an NV3500 five speed overdrive transmission. You can use it on a 5.0, 5.3, or 5.7 V8, but if you turbocharge those engines, or try using it on a big block V8, the torque will be way excessive for that transmission - you would need to upgrade to the NV4500.
