i have an 85 ss monte carlo & i'm building around a 400 horse 357. the car has a 7.5 3.73 gear, open carrier rear end in it from the factory. would one of those powertrax lockers be ok for it & it live, or should i get one for a 4.625 (7 5/8" if it will even fit in the 7.5 carrier) & get a set of 28 spline axles out of a 86 up g body rear.
this car isn't going to be on the drag stripe every weekend, it will just be a street car that i might take to the track a couple times a year.
i have found a after market nodular iron 9" ford center section, my choice of 3.70, 3.75, 3.80, 3.89 or 400 gears, 31 spline Detroit locker & a Daytona pinion support for $500.00 bucks shipped. seems like a steal, but then i would have to get the rear end housing & axles & then i'm in it for around $1,300 bucks. not to bad i know but i'm on a budget.
damn i hate being poor
