According to DR Diff. {and what ive always thought} the 741 has been unjustly overlooked and if u view above posts{TECH} u will get a clearer understanding about 8 3/4 pigs, the 741 is very stong and is beefier than 9'' frauds, and the only 2 advantages of 9'' is case is beefier[GUSSETED] and plentiful,cheaper. Ive seen 10.80 cars with 741's and live multible seasons, chk out the tech above and compare pinion/bearings even on the almighty danas, 741s 742s 489s all MOPAR all GOOD, alot of things you hear is bs and has no merit just check and reserch it yourself and make ur own conclusion
