    I myself would put a Ford 9" rear end in it, it is very dependable and there is a wide selection of gears for it. You can also find all kinds of 3 or 4 link brackets designed for it that will just have to be welded in place. You can get one from the junk yard or Currie offers all kinds and shapes of the 9".

    go with a ford kit and use the factory style torque arm suspension as it is basically a long ladderbar and can plant the tires really good , but don't use the stock one as you will bend it get the aftermarket ones . , if it wasn't for the torque arm I would say use a 8.5 ten bolt with a girdle as they are durable enough to hold up , we have been racing a 3300 bound camaro ( sec gen ) with a BBC running 10:35 @132 for the last 4 years without a problem the only thing we had to do to it was weld the tubes to the pig .

    You cant go wrong with a 9" rear.You can get a extra pumpkin with street gears ,and easily change them for the street.Since everyone uses 9" rear ends there are plenty of parts.
