I went through 2.5 700r4s before giving up and building a th400.. but i'm hauling alot more weight around..lol

Yah Im not so much concerned up the tranny as I am the rearend, because i have a real good tranny guy building me one. These stock 1980-82 Vette differentials are known for not handling much more than 400hp. (supposedly...some have had success with higher HP). Either way, Ill figure something out.
