I'll bet that thing is a monster from a roller though LOL!!

I'd step into some 3.73 out back for a good general purpose gear, will help you out of the hole and not over rev you going down the interstate.


FWIW, buddies 70 chevelle with his 468BBC blew out his 4.11 gears after 35 years of racing on it, so he found a stock 2.73 geared rear end to stick in to finish points. Only lost .4 in the 1/4 and actually stayed the smae mph....would've liked to have seen a tranney gauge on that thing....can you say HOT!!!!!
