I haven't broken mine yet... I don't run sticky tires either, and I wouldn't, not on a stock rear. Before I put stickies on I would put the proper precautions in... 28 spline axles, good posi, and a rear support cover. If I could I'd get that stuff used, would save on a budget for sure.
gbody 7.5 rear end can it take power

I purchased this about 8 yrs ago & never used it in my car. I believe it's 4.10 gear.

i wouldnt waste dime one on a 7.5 rear! get a 8.5 at the very least!! i dont care how many passes people on here say they have on their 7.5 rears they are living on borrowed time!! is it worth crashing your car?
Lots of luck floating around here. :lol: Back in the mid 90s I shelled out 2 7.5's behind a wore out smog 455. Swapped in an a-body 8.5 and been happy ever since...

If you re-weld the top brackets on the frame you can use an 8.5 from a B-Body too, and those are dirt cheap compared to a G-Body 8.5
Hmm, ten years on running my 7.5 through the gears at the track. Best 60ft was a 1.52 lifting both tires off the line. I am running 28x12.5x15 Mickey Street E.T's with 16psi. I constantly dip into the 11.90's with it. I know a few running them and haven't grenaded them yet. I have stock axels and only an Auburn LS carrier in it. The carrier is starting to show it's age but the rear is still perfect. I do however have a 12 bolt from a 69 Chevelle with 33 spline axels, full spool, and c-clips waiting to go in one day. I guess I am living on borrowed time (10 years now) with this rear. LOL
yeah but is it worth it to grenade a rear and smack the wall at the track! you have a really nice car with a good amount of $ tied up in it! why take a chance?406Monte said:
