    hey guys im thinking of putting a built 2004r in my led sled eventually and thought that my 2.73 rear end would make getting off the line a nightmare. Now im not looking for a race car just a nice all around cruiser....that can blow the doors of a 2014 challenger/charger.....however so far i am aware that the 70 lesabre 455 came with the 9 3/8 rear end that has no aftermarket support but seeing that the 70 lesabre 350 came with the 8.2 rear end which does have aftermarket support couldnt i just find an old lesabre/wildcat 350 car and take the rear end out of it and put whatever gears i wanted in it..... a 3.23 ideally then throw it in my beast.....anyways not sure if any of this is possible or already been done but thanks for any info/input

    If your going to a 2004R trans I would install at least a 3.73 gear:TU:
