That depends on what you're doing with it...

I'd buy this carrier http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ETN-19599-010/

and these axles http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SAG-EV10-4/.

Oh snap... no point in that... already did

Re: Please help!! Carrier choice

GM used 3 different carriers, not just those 2. What you're looking for is the 7.625" 26-spline from an '85-'89 2.8, but why are you shopping new open carriers? The 7.5" / 26-spline will work fine with your axles, and your 7.625" ring gear, but you need the pre'85 spider gears and side gears. Carrier bearings are the same for all 3. If you want an open carrier, forget wasting a fortune on new, and go get a used one from a salvage yard. It doesn't even have to be an F-body. It can be an S-10, or even a G-body for that matter.
