Hehe you're gettin some bad advise. You should definitley never believe anything that person ever tells you again!! The tranny and rear end are not related in any fashion.

Well, they're still wrong. 
You can run any type of carrier you want in an axle, it has NOTHING to do with the engine or transmission!
Some choices-
posi
locker
spool
"open" diff
GM used an Eaton Locker in '84 f-body rear axles, because their supply of Auburn Posi units was low. But that was the only year. And the Eaton Gov-lock isn't a great design- that's why GM never used it again.
