    I have an 1968 8.2 rear end from a gs 400. It has a set of 478 gears in it. It looks good and operated well in the car before being removed. Stored in heated garage.

    Stage 2 cars ran in the 10’s with these gears and a Muncie. What a ride on bias ply tires in the 70’s

    Perfect for that quick trip to the corner store to grab some beers during the commercials while watching the game. GLWS
