IML: 70 rear axle



Hey everyone, I have an issue with my rear axle that is tearing me up. I need to replace the bearings ( sounds like a church choir in my trunk ) and I would like to install taller gears and a limited-slip diff while I am in there. Here is my problem: I would like to go from the current 2.94 to a 3.23 for a little extra "go" and better towing capabilities. If my calculations are correct, that would be an increase of approximately 200 rpm at 65 mph. Will that increase make my highway hauler not so highway. My main goal with this car is road trips. And one last question: Is rebuilding an axle difficult? I rebuilt my transmission myself ( with a little help from my brother ) and that was easy.

P. S. I want to thank everyone for their support. I was asking a few weeks ago if I should keep her or set her up for adoption. As you can see, I am keeping the little @!&^%$(&^...........
