Folks,

We have decided to put a Ford 9" under the rear of the 85 Vette for running
in D/GT... I am not quite sure HOW yet, but we are committed to going there.

I have an option to buy EITHER a posi unit or a non-posi unit from a guy in
Portland, OR that has a couple of both available (both are 28 spline).   I
am assuming that I DEFINITELY WANT the POSI unit.  Is there any reason that
logic is faulty?

Should I be concerned about full / semi floating in this application?

Also, since I expect to be running a T-10 trans, I am looking at a couple
of starting' gear ratio sets in the low 3's.  Do they seem reasonable.

thanks as always

KEN
