Hi guys,
Im putting together a pro-touring 1970 Lemans on a budget. I have the full hotchkis suspension including the extreme sway bar and the upper and lower control arms ( plus TVS ) The car had a stock 350 in it and I purchased a 425Hp 400 to install my question regarding the rear end is can I use the same rear end with a locker? its the original 30spline 12bolt with 373 gears. I have already bought the disk brake conversion and wasnt really expecting to buy the engine but it was for a good price so I picked it up. Now my concern is that I will have to replace the entire rear to accomodate the increase in power. Any guidance would be helpful
