pick up a posi rearend for it if you can find one in your area at a good price. if your gona build it then you need to upgrade the trany. i would call a place like performabuilt and ask what they can do. the 97 is a odd auto trany as it is and i dont know what the differences might be for the 3.8.

heres a couple of sites to look at as well.
