[QUOTE=denverslim;11398]Be careful about WHICH shoebox rearend you get, FD. There were two. I don't have my book in front of me, but the cars that came without the overdrive had a much lower speed (about 4:10 to one) rear end. They'll cruise about 60, maybe 65 MPH with your flattie.
I have the higher speed rear-end on my shoebox with the overdrive, something more like 375:to one, and it cruises nice and easy at 70 plus MPH. Aint gonna set any time records getting there, but it handles the level freeway at that speed.

Hey Denverslim, he's getting the rear end from me. It's from a non overdrive car with 375's in it.
