I think if you go 350 you will like the setup even more.
I agree, if you like what your getting out of your current setup... why monkey with success?

You know I always thought that some day I would upgrade to a 327 just because that was what was available in 68. But you got me thinking about it... and now I'm thinking if I'm going to do an upgrade, why not go for the 350! For the same money I could have more power, and I was checking out crate motors on Jegs. It doesent get any easier than that! Buy a turn key motor and drop it in. Done deal!
For now I sealed up the crack in my diff and filled it with that corn head grease just in case. I ran the truck enough to make sure everything was coated nicely. No leaks yet, but I'll keep an eye on the grease in there, and I'm on the hunt for a nice Dana 44. Once I find one I'll swap it out, but I think I'll keep my rear axle and stick with my 4.57 gears.
Thanks again for all the help and great info to everyone who replied and helped me out. Very much appreciated!
