I just removed this rearend from my 69 Camaro project to finish the floors.

While out, I am going to convert it to rear disc.
It is a 10 bolt, but it is the stronger 8.5".
When I opened it up, I noticed the previous owner had welded the spider gears together. Can I run this on the street or will I have issues?
The car will be a pro-touring driver with a 383 and a 4 speed.
Also, I am unsure what the gear ratio is. There are 41 teeth on the ring and 9 on the pinion. Any ideas?
How does the wear pattern look? There is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch play when I hold the pionion and turn the ring.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Steve
