Picked up an 8.5 out of a 442. 3:73 open rear end. Also picked up the rear end out of a nineties cop car with an 8.5, Auburn posi and 2.93 gears. I'm going to use the Auburn for now. Tested it and I got up to 150lbs on the beam torque wrench without it slipping so it should be good. The Auburn is a 30 spline so I'll need some new axles which will be a nice upgrade anyway. This is going in my 80 Malibu/408" small block/TH350.
Does anyone know what a good choice would be for 30 spline axles?
Take a look at the pick of my ring gear. Has a small chip out of one tooth. Pinion shows nothing. Replace or run it?
