Default What Posi case can I use....

I have a 72 Vette with a 3.08 posi rear and want to put in 3.70's. Will I have to change the case or can I install a 3.70 ratio on the 3.08 case??

Tom, so the 3.70 R&P will bolt up without a ring gear spacer or need of a different carrier?

The 3.70 will bolt right in. It is only when you go to 4.11 or bigger that you need a different posi unit.
