Looks like you’re right that a 63 axle would be tapered/keyed. I’ll keep looking https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/mopar-8-3-4-inch-rear-ends

what do y'all think about a 8-3/4 out of a 63 savoy (b-body). It's about 1-3/8in wider drum-to-drum? Would i need to narrow it?

I had to look at my notes, and i'm sorry, i mis-recalled the tag number and misrepresented what happened. I had been under the impression it was a A36 (not A33 as i said before, sorry) - which would have been "A36: 69-71 performance axle package with 3.55" It was in fact an A86 car (69 only...

one thing that i learned the hard way was that even though this is an "A33" fender tag car (Track Pak w/3.54 ratio) it had a 7-1/4 under it when it showed up. I decided it was still worth buying but had hoped for better...

I guess the notion of a 'weak' 7-1/4 has been a little vague for me. I get that a built 410 stroker with slicks will eat it for lunch, but will a moderately built 318 with radials ever take it out? It's not clear and this is my first Mopar, so i ask the advice of the board :) I'm on the prowl...

You caught me. It’s on the whiteboard on the shop wall, but forgot to list it here :) I figured discs in the front at least. I’m torn about BBP upgrade given the rear that also needs upgrade and the cascade $ effects on wheels / tires / etc

It’s not a daily, have other cars. I live near a drag strip, but I’m not a racer. It may go there once or twice just for grins. Mostly a cruiser / fun car. Wrenching is half the purpose of it for me…

Forgot to mention I also put new shocks in all 4 corners. Was thinking about sway bar, disc brakes should be on the list for sure!

Got a hold of this 69 FB barracuda a few months ago and the P.O. did a few upgrades. 318, rebuilt/ bored .030 over, edelbrock performer plus cam (204@.050, .420 lift, 110LSA). Edelbrock Performer intake, 600 carb. 675 factory heads Mopar electronic distributor with orange box. 904, rebuilt...
