Just general help with everything overall

Agreed with above. A stock rear for these cars will have a ratio that's a full point or more taller than your current one. In stock form a 267 V8 car would most likely have had in the neighborhood of a 2.41:1 rear end ratio. No, it won't roast the tires with those gears, but it's like having overdrive without an overdrive transmission.

Install is fairly simple- 4 control arm bolts, 4 bolts for the driveshaft u-joint, a brake line, 2 parking brake cables and then bleed the rear brake cylinders out again after you're done installing it.

what's your location? i have a rear end I'm trying to get rid off and it had 2:14 gears.

As a reference:

With a 2.14:1 rear, a TH350, and a 26-inch tire, you can drive 79 mph in 1st gear at 5500 rpm.

At 60 mph in 3rd gear, the same combination will turn approx 1650 rpm.
