They are an 8 inch, and one is 4 pinion like a Ford 9 inch.
Google search and you may find, as I did, a pretty good bunch of sites about them. There are several models, depending on 4, turbo 4, V6 and what rig they went in.
Best part is they are drop-out carrier so you can have several around for those 1/8th mile runs or Bonneville runs...., just like a 9 inch.

Ok after "Googling" I was wrong I have 4:30 gear ratio with a 2 pinion design. Do I have to pull the axels to drop the carrier? I am pretty sure I will end up getting a whole rearend bad thing is they go for $500 around here so if you have any insight it would be much appreciated.

Yup, you have to pull the axles. Is you diff busted or noisy? If so, you need to clean the axle tubes etc out real good, or you new one will be junk soon.
