its a 7 5/8 10 bolt. Should handle a stock 350 no problem. I dont know from expierence, but im under the impression they will handle up to around 400 hp.

X2 BUT i would properly build it before throwing 400hp at it. I have blown at least 3 7.5 ten bolts in stock applications... :roll: I have a 7 5/8 out of a 87 SS and plan on upgrading it 28 spline axles, 02 Camaro SS Zexel Torsen Posi unit, Aluminum girdle, welded tube axles, Strange rebuild kit courtesy of "BeerMonkey", etc etc....I wish i could find a 8.5 locally but i haven't been as lucky so i am working with i have. :D
