you have a 3.42 rear in your v6?(or what was a v6) Did that come stock? That;s the rear end yuo should keep. It's a good rear for a mild v8.

you should be fine with the rear you have for a streetable v8. SFCs wouldn't hurt but alot of thirdgens don't have them and get along pretty well without them.
