    Well, the 5-6-7 rear will work,that's what I put in my '54 back in the '60's. Now, though, I'd go for a Camaro or Trans Am rear, newer and better ratio availability.

    What year of camaro or trans am would you suggest? Do you think I would have to do a lot of alterations to make it work in my application?
