8.25 rear end for sale

adzara said

Good Morning All,

Let me begin with saying that I'm brand new (ie...joined the forum last night) and may have lots of "dumb" questions. But I just got a 74 duster with a slant 6 that I'm updating to a 360(already found a motor and have it torn down and ready for the machine shop). With that said, I've been hearing and told a lot that I should get an 8 3/4 for my car. Would the 8 1/4 be good enough (to help with costs)?

I appreciate the help and any advice!

This should be moved to its own thread, IMO. I've read that their is some interchangeability of gears that makes the 8 3/4 advantageous too. But Im pretty darn green myself.
I've also read that the 7.25 is just pretty darn useless and by implication anything is a lot better, my 7.25 rear still gets my as around just fine for now.
a selling thread is not the place to be asking and pointing out the advantages of one part over another.... IMO
