Do chevy rear end gears have the same ratio as ford?
If the ARE the same...i think i'd put 380s in mine...simply because it's a 3 speed. But i'm no expert.

Mine is Ol' Yeller for obvious reasons. My wife calls our 03 Mach I "Big Red" because it is Torch Red. The rear end is the last thing you need to worry about. You have to match the engine, tranny and exhaust system first, then decide what gears you need and if you need an 8" or a 9" or a locker, etc, to match that combination.

Just make sure you get their RPM heads. Yeah, the C6 will handle it. It is an automatic tranny designed for big block engines with tons of torque.
