sswap-just pick up ANY HotRod, Street Rod, Truck or Off-Road magazine. You will find that almost everybody uses the 9 inch. Drag racers have been using 'em for years. They are probably THE most durable diff available to mankind-will take all the abuse you can pile on 'em and the aftermarket parts support is phenominal.
Will one handle your 327? You betcha!!
