The guy I got it from said the 216 wouldn't pull it any longer once he changed the rear.
Granted 3.70 and 4.10 are different, but his experience does confirm it could be a problem. Please come back here and tell us how it goes after the swap!
By engine work do you mean on the 216 or maybe swapping for a 261? Few would ever notice that swap looking under the hood, but I'm sure you'd notice hauling a load or climbing a hill.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
