8 1/4 rear end pros and cons

I agree with you guys on the 8 3/4. If you can get one, build one. I personally have a 8 1/4 in my 72 dart. Total rebuild with new sure-grip, 3:55 gears, bearings, and brakes (11in drums for some reason) ran me about $1200. I don't regret it tho, this rear end has held up pretty well with my constant beatings (318 mild build).
