My 63 currently has a 327, power glide and an open rear end. I have purchased a 340HP 409 to replace the 327 and plans are to beef up the power glide and keep that in the car. I am looking to get around 350-375 HP from the 409 after rebuilding but need advice on rear end and gears. What would be the best ratio for all around drivability but still be able to melt a little rubber? 3:55 is kind of what I am thinking but as I am sure you guys have been down this road many times I would love to get your input. Also, as this is a completely different animal from the 10 and 12 bolt rears I am used to are there any modifications that need to done to the rear end to swap in a posi unit other than changing out the pumpkin?
Also if anyone has parts for sale I would like to hear from them, I have talked to many fine members already who are helping me amass the needed parts for my pride and joy. A big thanks to all who are helping the much less learned.
