Thanks. It's getting enough GM parts that pretty soon it's gonna be like a Camaro. lol
Josh is the go to guy for H.P, work, so he'd be able to point you in the right direction as to pricing or a trans shop. My tranny guy passed away last year, so I'll be hitting Josh up for info as well when I need a new tranny guy.
Your 8.5 10 bolt rear is a pretty damn good rear, and should be able to take what you are looking for it to do. I had the same rear in my 79 Trans Am, and that had the 455 Olds I mentioned earlier. That engine had tons of low end torque, and I was known to beat on it a bit, and it never gave me any probs. The only change I made was to install some 3.73s in place of the stock 2.41s. I even know a couple of AMC guys who put T/A 8.5s in their Javelins, because they are better rears than the AMC Dana 20s, and you could get 'em with disc brakes from the factory.
