I was browsing kijiji today as i always do when bored at work and found a guy who has a 351w c6 tranny and a 9" rear end he planned on putting in his torrino. Now i was going to be replacing my rear end (was going to be a 8.8) but how much harder is it to fit a 9 into my 85? Also how much work is it to fit a c6 and a 351 into my car? i'm not too sure on engine condition but the ad says its from 1977 so i don't know what kind of shape it will be in... But please give me your 2 cents. Just a side not, my 302 is basically stock and i want to try to get 275 to 300hp out of my car when i am done, its for street maybe the track a bit, and my t-5 still works fine wasn't really planning on replacing that but if this is a good deal then i'm goin for it.

I'd build the 302 to make 300 hp and save a bunch of time and money. The 302 and tranny are already in your car so why would you go through all the trouble yanking the entire driveline for 300hp. Good heads/cam/intake should get you real close.

YA he's asking only 900$ for the lot, but i know would need LOTS of help from friends to do the swap. I just wanted to know if it was worth it.
