Thanks Number Dummy,
I'm installing a 302 with a C6 to this rear end. Will it be strong enough to hold up?

Don't see why not, the 9" / 3.00-1 ratio was available in 1978/79 F100/150's with a 302/C6 combo.

It'll be strong enough, but will zap the power from the 302, should get good hwy mpgs though.
