Default Newbie rear end question.

I just finisheda v8 swap in my 1989 240 wagon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa_lXjF8qigI'm wondering what is typically done to beef up the rear end. Thanks in advance!

The rear ends are pretty beefy in these cars.
Did you do a chevy or ford V-8 swap?

There is a guy in my area that had a 740 with a V-8 the rear end held up till he hit about 350Hp or a little more.
He had the Chevy 350 with a cam in it and running 125 shot in nitrous before the rear gave out.

Then he had a Chevy rear custom fit into it.

I did a LT1 with the 4L60e. The drivetrain was out of a 96 Impala SS. http://mobileaudiodesign.net/copperm...s.php?album=40
I would like to make it a posi car. I am just blowing the passenger tire off.
Thanks for the reply.

Real early 240's had a Posi rear in it.
I helped a buddy a couple of times install the posi center section in his 740's.
