New 5.0 parts car.
hey all. Just picked up a 85LX 5.0 complete parts car. no motor.. but has everything else... it also has a auburn posi unit with 4.56 gears.. just wondering if the gears might be too much for a daily driver?.. i'm guessing yes but just wondering if anybody has used 4.56 gears on the street and if so how was it?

the only reason i got the car was because of the rearend and the spare t5 i would have around.. just in case.. if anybody needs any parts for an 85 or 86 pm me. stuff will go cheap.. well minus the rear end and trans.lol

RE: New 5.0 parts car.
Your tire's diameter is 25.630 inches
At 70 MPH in 5th gear, your motor is turning at 2,637.4 RPM
according to this calculator :P

and if its for parts do you mind me asking for some stuff?
