Late model Z28 rearend in my 1971 Nova ???

[Q ship]

Just my opinion, but if you are planning on building decent power/traction a late model 7 5/8" rearend is not what I would want. It's a great idea in concept, but it would suck to pop the rearend after doing all that work.

i am just installing a stock 98+ ls1 drivetrain for now, so the stock ls1 rearend should be ok.
if i plan in the future to turbo or supercharge the ls1, definetly a 9 inch or 12 bolt would be in order.
