4-cyl cars have 7.5 rear ends that will not tolarate the abuse of a BBF. You need to look into trans upgrade, 8.8 rears will take a good pounding and keep on going. They will support up to the 550-600hp range. special headers will be needed and a special bell housing for the trans

No to hijack the thread but I have a granatelli K-Member in my 4cyl notch and it will accept a 460, but I am going with 331

a built 8.8 will be more than enough
