Thanks everybody for the imput. I thought that sounded strange but you have to ask. I'll probably use an S-10 T-5 so my next challenge will be mounting my e brake handle and petals with the master cyl. Is this an easier mod that a saginaw? Being top loaded has got to be a plus. This is new to me; I've always run bone stock stovebolts but you can't hardly drive them in todays traffic. I'm thinking a rear in the 3.73 range would pull pretty good. I don't want to cruise more than 70 and I live in flat country (Florida). Any suggestions on the rear?
