Hi, just after some help with an engine change from a 390 cadillac engine to a 502 Big Block Chevy. The question I'm after is whether or not a stock cadillac (not sure what sort they come out with) diff will be enough to drive the 502, if not what type do I need or can I change the centre out of the stock one. Thanks

i would talk to a great rear end shop...  

i take it that you are planning on doing a few smokey burn outs...  

my thinking is ... 9 inch ford... but with 35 spline axles and a beefy housing...

there were some really great looking top fuel and funny car rear ends over on the strange engineering web site.. they were replaced by newer and stronger units.. but these were being redirected toward top alcohol classes..  the prices were great also...
