Ok, so you have a th350 or th400 Trans. Different drive shaft, you should pull it and count the yoke/ pinion splines to make certain.
Gear install kit which one do i need?

Unless you owned this car from day one, document everything or you will blow your budget replacing the same part several times. People do weird things to rear ends.
Why was the transmission replaced?

Do your home work on the gearing. Consider tires diameter, gear, desired mph for cruise, etc. before you settle on a gear ratio. That sound like a good setup for street and strip but high rpms for cruising or highway use.
I have a th400 with a 3.50 gear and stock wheels. 60 mph and I' m at 2800rpm. But will smoke anything off the line. 6000rpm puts me at 123mph.

That's what I mean. That's not a true statement. The stock transmission was a 2004r, 4 gear overdrive transmission. Go to montecarloss.com and look at the technical and general sections. Great info there.cartruck said:
You may have a higher stall converter in there also. Maybe the PO can answer those q's for you but you're better off finding out yourself. If he told you he rebuilt the transmission and it's a th350, he lied or was lied to and passed that onto you. Your better off doing the detective work yourself. Good luck, hth.
I have been looking for a wile read up on the ss montes 83-84 have the th350 with 3.42s had planed on using the 3.73s the new rear had but i dont want to switch to a 4 speed because i have a th400 for spare an my trans now was rebuilt not that long ago. i asked around about the 3.73s an was told to go 3.42. i dont drive the car far and it will see more in town use than highway use and almost no track use.
