I have a 91 Z with a non-modified 305.
I am in the process of having a 4.10 Eaton POSI Disc rear installed. So to get the best out of this I need to modify my engine (had a 5.7 but my buddy just killed his engine in a '79 Z) He picked the parts up for me so.....
Anyway what can I do to modify my exisiting engine to get the most out of my new rear. (Oh for those of you saying why did a get a rear like that, it was almost new and cost me $150).

a t-56 swap would work well with those gears
You can even keep some gas mileage.

it depends, on a few things mostly upwards of $1700, but youll have a tranny that will deal with any future combo. u will ever want to run.
