This is what will be going in my truck (I will be putting in a cummins 4BT diesel engine with a tko-500 tranny. the 3.08 rear end with 29.5" tires will put me at 71 mph at torque peak (which is usually also the point of lowest brake specific fuel consumption) in 5th gear - perfect!).

see impalassforum.com - they have a parts forum.

That sounds insane, be sure to take lots of pic's
