Rear End choices?
Hey Guys!
What is the best route for a rear end for a 57 Chevy 3100? It's got a 350 small blick without too much guts (but one the new heads and cam are in, it should lit 'em up). Trans is also 350 (from third gen camaro).
I want to have the best of all worlds, of course - smoke the tires, get amazing ags mileage, save the engine, etc., but I am also somewhat realistic and know you can't have it all, so the preference would be to lose the gas mileage first, then lose the ability to smoke the tires.
I hope to be able to also put a trailer hitch on it- but for the most part, this'll be a grocery getter.
I sure appreciate any help - this is my first hot rod. I kow Ill screw it up - but want to have something cool in the end.
Thanks!
