Steve I had the same problem trying to figure out what to do with my 10 bolt rear end. Finally after much research into a 12 bolt or 9" I took it to my local shop that had a great reputation for building rear ends. He put an auburn posi it new all new bearings and new axles. I have a 327SB with about 340hp but want to upgrade to a 396 BB one day. He told me not to worry about that rear end it will take 500-600hp and guaranteed it. Cheaper than the other options worth looking into.
