depends on how much power and your budget the 8 inch 9inch or even a 8.8 can be built to hold some power

Picking a rear end is like picking shoes..you need to know what you're going to be doing with 'em.

Looking for a drag car?
A weekend strip car?
A boulevard cruiser?
What horsepower are you going with?
What Transmission will you be using?
What Tires do you want?
Drum or disc brakes?
Budget project or 'sky's the limit'....

Let us know where you're going with the car and we can make better recommendations.

Is that what you have ? I am undecided between that and a 3.50. I have no experience with either though. One thing is that gas mileage is important to me and my ride will be a daily driver. Any thoughts ?
