Re: Mom's '54 project build thread

Yeah, the 9 bolt rears were built in Australia. She(mom) is fine with the gear ratio of 3.27, so the inside wont be messed with too much. They seem to be in good shape. The brakes will need lots of work, but we new that. Not bad for $200.00 though. GM said the 9 bolt rears were supposed to handle up to 300 hp. The H.O. 305 she's going to be using out of my '84 Z/28 wont ever make that much hp. Though it will be a big step up from the factory inline 6.
