it reminds me of the time we put a 454 chevy in a '68 firebird...left the stock rear end in...it didn't last long....lol
If you aren't breaking parts you are not going fast enough! right? I already have plans for the trans and rear end if needed. for the rear end I like the C55 with a torsen posi. but for now I like the idea of the n/a's 3.27 ratio combined with lots of torque in a pretty light car.
