    need new rear end

    Well. my engine is in my 4 door now...it was dyno at 375 Hp. i have my new rebuilt tranny. im going to need a better rear end. can you guys give me a good place to look for a better one? or maybe a car that would have a bigger one that would bolt on? What is the stock rear end size and can it hold up with my hp? IM also looking for some bolt on exhuast options. plus im looking for some sport mirrors if you guys know where to get those too. thanks-james

    The easiest, although certainly not the cheapest, is to call Currie and tell them what you want. They will build you a 9" that will bolt right in. I got one with a Detroit locker, 31 spline axles, and 3:89 gears. Costs was just under $2000 plus shipping.

    Lord, there are many posts on this subject if you do a search.

    Not meaning to be crass, it's just that this subject (along with
    "which headers") has been beaten like a dead horse (me
    included).

    A Ford 9" is what you want. Again, performing a 'search' will
    provide you with more information than a normal human being
    can retain. :D

    Good luck,

    R
