8.5 rear
Hi,
I had an 8.5" 3:73 posi rear from a 87 Olds 442 in my 79 Cutlass with a 403 running high 12's. I never passed up the opportunity to perform full throttle accelerations leaving my mark on as much pavement as I could. That 8.5" rear was the only driveline component that operated flawlessly during the 4 year period I had this high horsepower 403 installed. I'm a fan! :lol:

Their are plenty of people running high horse power on those rear ends with good succes. They are pretty stout as they are, but if you are making tons of hp/torque it would not be a bad idea to get better components for it.
