What's the intended use? Drag use ever?

The BOP 8.2s are a little stronger than the Chevy ones. If you're not planning on slicks or drag radials, you're probably ok.

If you can find a good deal on a 12 bolt that's the route I would take. If money is tight clean up the 10 bolt and run it until it breaks.

If you re just grocery getting with street rubber and not mashing the gas a lot, you should be OK. I would go through the diff just to be on the safe side.
