Nova rearend
i'm in the process of planning an engine swap in my 66 nova. i'm going from a 230 to a 350. my question is what type of rearend i should put on this. i've heard good things about both gm and ford rearends. i would like to find one that will fit my car without having to modify my fenders so are there any specific cars from which i should pull the rearend from to avoid this fit problem. also, are there are any cars that would have high ratio factory gears that i should try to get.

Rear for 66 Nova
I just sold two rear ends : 57 - 59 Fords; they bolt right in the Novas and about an inch shorter . Easy to work on and change gear ratios and strong . Granadas and Lincoln Versaille work too! 57 _ 59 Station Wagon and Ranchero are large end axle bearing .

Bolt patterns are not the same. If you're not going to beat on it too hard, the stock 8.2" unit should suffice.

how much horsepower do you think the stock rear will hold? because i'm planning on running 450.
