Easy rear end question:

I cannot for the life of me find this today for some reason.

What size rear end is in the 1974 small block 4-speed corvette? Size not ratio. Thanks!

If your looking for the ring gear size it is 8.5. The Corvette is unique to the GM line as no other GM product uses the Corvette gears.
