8 bolt rear end

k im not knowledgeable in the camaro rear ends. i found one at the scrap yard that is a 8 bolt rear. is this rear good for a stock 350? later on i would like to do some bolt on upgrades to the motor will this rear be able to handle it? im pulling off the disc brakes off of it before someone else does.. but is the 10 bolt or the 8 bolt better? any info would be great

regards

Douglas

Ha! And so is the Dana 60. All these guys think that they're upgrading LOL. Maybe I'll just stick with my stock rear end. It's allready a 10-bolt!
