8.2 Or 8.5 10-Bolt Rear???

I have a 1970 2-door Malibu. Originally a 6-Cyl Powerglide car. It still has the original 10-bolt rear in it. I cannot find the numbers on the Passenger side axle tube. How do I easily tell if it is an 8.2 or a 8.5?

Thanks!

So would you recommend putting the money into rebuilding the 8.2 and adding gears and a posi unit....or searching for an 8.5 or a 12 bolt?


My set-up is a 357ci (probably 400-425hp) and a TH350.

Thanks!
