How rare is this rear end?

P,
SF was for 1970 3:23 Anti-Spin. I would think a pretty desirable gearing, not too high or low. My 70 Pace car had an SF and drove nice around town and highway.
According to my books 3:91 for 70 would be code TO for W-30 which I think is pretty rare along with TM (3:42) for W-30. I also see there are codes SH and SJ for 3:42 and 3:91 respectively for non W-30. Not sure the difference but a 3:42 and 3:91 and higher were considered performance axles and I would think maybe a bit more HD?
I think the SF 3:23 would be hard to find if needed?

I believe TO and TM were also used for the W31 in 1970 as well. It's been quite a few years, but if memory serves the 70 W31 I had came with the TO rear end.

had a brain fart....it's an SJ rear end.

I don't know whether this is accurate, but

SJ is the code for 3:91 anti spin non W car. I would think this is somewhat rare, but not as valuable as the TO coded 3:91 W rear.

Is the TO 3.91 only available on the w 30 or a w 31 cars?Could it be ordered on a plain Cutlass?

I believe TO and TM rear ends in 70 were W car only.

there are 3.91 geared rallye's, so those would get the SJ code
