My Rear
My lx was originally a 4 banger that now has a 302--- With the original rear end. Now I'm sure the rear end I have in it is not right for that motor. What I need to know is what rear end will give me the most and not run 11000rpm on the highway?? And I have 1 rear tire bald. No posi?? Where is a good place to get the rear end I need?

RE: My Rear
You need an 8.8" rear end. As for what rpm you'll be turning will depend on the gear ratio and your tranny.
RPM=(336 x "drive ratio" x MPH) / (tire diam) Where "drive ratio" is your rear end ratio multiplied by the tranny ratio.
