I've got a 88 chevy step side and I'm about to drop in a 350 HO with headers and a 3 inch exhaust, will my rear hold up for a while? Or should I look for a new one. I also know a guy that rebuilds them any parts you guys recommend?

 

The factory 8.6" 10 bolt is pretty strong...you'll be fine with it. Think about adding a limited slip from Eaton to it to improve traction though....

 

I have a 91 OBS and I just swapped in a 383 and the stock rear with 360,000 miles has held fine. I am swapping in a 4:11 and an eaton as soon as possible.

 

hey dock...that poor v-6... haha,,

Same here, im installin 4.10s and Eaton LSD..

So yea,, go get you a Eaton,, and you will be fine...

 

thanks!
