Which rearend.options? built 454
well, i picked up a pretty rowdy 454 .030 over a bit back and am in process of getting it buttoned up.it was out of a sunken v drive boat( for about 1 hour) taken apart and all cleaned up. in the 550hp/tq neighborhood.(will have a question thread on this, engine related as well)
anywho, my truck is an '82 stepside 5 lug. 10 bolt. factory rearend. truck has a straight 6 factory. is this thing even gonna hold up to this engine at all? im not gonna be hard launching,simply a rowdy toy to fly around in and get on every here and there. what are my best options as far as rearends go? i definately dont have 1000+ for a company built performance rearend. cheaper the better, but i know quality dont come cheap. wheels are uni-5 lug.i plan on posi/locker. am i gonna need the ford 9"? 12 bolt? 10 bolt?
