Hi guys,
I've got a 79 Ghia that came stock with a 7.5" rear end in it and I am a bit concerned that once I put my rebuilt engine into it that I may run into some problems in terms of its capabilities. I have been told by numerous people including Chevy guys that the only way to go when it comes to rear ends is with a Ford 9" although I don't have the money at the moment to swap in a Ford 9" from a company like Moser or the like so I am trying to weigh out my options so that I don't end up blowing a rear end apart. Is there anyone who has any experience with beefing up the 7.5" or are more people just sticking with beefing up the 8.8"? I was looking at gears and maybe a diff for the 7.5" but I wasn't sure so I wanted to get some of your guys input. Looking forward to hearing back.
Thanks,
Andrew
