yea i have a 1980 2dr malibu classic and it has a rear end out of a 1980 malibu wagon. i am wondering what the gear ratio is in it because i want to put a mini spool in it. and also i was wondering how to get the cross pin out of it. and i wondering if i put the mini spool in it if it will hold up to the motor and transmission i have in it. it has a 350 bored .030 over with a set of 74lt1 heads that are done up to 202/160 valves with screw in rocker studs and high lift springs with a .520 lift cam and a holley 750 spread bore manual secondary, the transmission is a th350 with a stage 3 shift kit full manual valve bodied and a 10in tci 2500 stall converter in it. it shifts pretty hard and when i shift it it will bark the rear tires. so im wondering if the mini spool will be a little much for the stock rear end. i have snapped the pinion in one rear end and it was out of a 86 cutlass. any help will be great. thanks :?:
