I have a 65 coupe that i just installed a late model 306 pushing around 330-350 to the wheels with a t5 behind into. I want a rear end that i dont have to worry about, right now it is a stock 8in. what would you do? a 9 inch, 8.8 inch or just build the 8in. please give reasons for you opinion, Thanks Nick PS i have an 8.8 on my parts car
 
run a set of 3.55 gears in the stock 8" rear, and a traction loc of some sort as well. the 8" can handle quite a bit of power(over 400 with out slicks) os it wont break anytime soon.
