rear end choices?

You may be surprised to find that some of the rear ends mentioned in this thread would be just as hard to find (if not harder) than a mopar A-Body 8.75.......more expensive too.
I bought a bare A-Body 8.75 housing last year for $200. new axles for $300 from Dr Diff, and a 3.55 carrier for 250. You would pay a LOT more for a Dana cut down.

I would run the 8.25 for a while....
