This is how weak a 10 bolt is with 4.10 gears.
This car is a 160xxx mile L98, converted to carb with supercomp headers and straight pipe. Not much power at all, this pass was the second, first pass was 13.87 at 101 mph, so really, not much power, i had 30 lbs in the slicks to try and prevent over hooking and i launched around 2400, not dumping the clutch but not feathering the hell out of it ither.
How long do you guys thing this rearend will last with 3.73 gears? I have not taken it apart to see what kind of hears they were but the rearend did not make any noise before hand.

Thanks for looking out man, i do not have the correct offset wheels for it to work unless i took the rears off the 95. I have a 2.73 posi i just swapped it for that is about to go back in. Thanks again.
how much does it cost to rebuild a 10bolt "x" amount of times vs. buying a 12bolt to begin with.....
save your money and get a 12 bolt.
its cheaper to do things once and correctly, then redo something 5 times....

Since the 89 is making noise on the bottom end, i olmost have all the parts needed for the 95 to get back up and running, so soon to be riding in a 4ht gen again.
