need drivetrain opinions...
I was wondering does anyone have an idea of a good posi rearend to put on a street car. its a daily driver but i plan on racing it street and possibly strip sometimes. also just curious... what would be a good transmission to use? should i rebuild the 700r4 and put a shiftkit on it... or is there something better that i could do?

For a daily driver, stick with the 10 bolt, stick a posi in it, or get a 9 bolt out of a GTA (others got them, but GTAs got them as standard equipment). The 9 bolts are all disc an posi, but repair parts are harder to cheap, and cost more than 10 bolts parts, when you need something.

Re: need drivetrain opinions...
you didn't say whether you're sticking with the factory rearend (didn't indicate what you had either), or whether you were going to spend megabucks in going with a 12-bolt, Ford 9-inch, or Dana 60. those variables would influence the scope of the possible answers. so many options, so little money, only one car to work on. sigh.
