Here is my dilemma. I have a big block 69 Chevelle that blew out the stock 10 bolt posi. I must now decide whether to rebuild or replace. From what I understand the 10 bolt I have is the 8.2 (8.5 were in 70 and later). The engine is making somewhere around 500 hp with plans to swap a set of aluminum heads on next winter. I know the 12 bolt is stronger, but could the 10 bolt hold up if built right? If so what make of products should go into it and of course financially, which would be easier on the old wallet to build. I'll be doing the labor myself so parts will be all I have to purchase. The car will be seeing little track use and will be street driven primarily (weather permitting here in NJ). I'm thinking a 3.55 gear would be fine but feel free to throw in your .02 on that as well. Thanks from any and all that can help.
