    I have a 2.79 and a 3.53 rear end. Engine is 350 w/rv cam, 700r tranny. Which should be the best choice. One or the other is going to be a 4.11 for my other car, which needs it for the T5 tranny with 60hp flatty.
    Just pulled the 2.79 out of it. Was way, way to high for the no torque 60.
    Any advice would be helpful. Thanks, Lee

    Go with the 3.53, it will work alot better behind the OD trans.

    Thanks for the advice. Wasn't thinking about the OD when I posted. That also saves me pulling it out of the 29. Already pulled the 2.79 out.
    Thanks again, Lee

    Unless you are running at Bonneville go with the deeper gears. :D
