rearend upgrade

Explorer 8.8's are cheap, plentyful, and more than capable for most power levels.
my bad I see you are wanting to upgrade your 83/4. You must be pushing some serious power. I always thought a good stock unit was good for up to 450-500hp. What's wrong with the 83/4 thats in it now? If you already have it I would invest it that rear end.
