Any progress?
I had a thread going similar to this last fall. I opted to start with the old 235 and am in the throws of installing a Nova rear-end. I picked up a couple of 50's 3spd+OD transmissions so I can keep the 3 OTT shifter. I plan my freeway rpm's to be at 2,000. This will give me flexibility in case I want a different engine/trans later on.
The GM 8.5" diff's can have 2.24, 2.56, 2.73, 3.08, 3.42, 3.73 or 4.10/4.11:1 ratios; I currently have a 2.24, 2.56 & 2.73 but I might have to jump up to a 3.42. If you have questions on how to get a later rear-end into your Chev. let me know; also jump over to CT, they know.
