8&3/4" mopar vs Phord 9" vs xploder 8.8" rear

I know it's suck's, but I have that into the rearend, there is no cheap way around the rear end, it's not so much the housing, it's the diff that kill's ya. I remember buy 489 carriers for 250 like 10-12 years ago with a suregrip in them. Good luck, and don't overlook the 8 1/4 , I ran a 416 stroker with mine no problems, 450 hp hughes motor.
