Would a 8 1/4 with 3:55 gears be able to hold with a mild built 440.would i need to get just a 8 3/4 instead?

I'd opt for the 8.75 but that's just me.

By an 8 3/4 and give me your 8 1/4

Or you could just wait till you break the 8 1/4 and get it towed home and then put a 8 3/4 in it

It's all in what you expect to do with your car? Daily driver with a little hot rodding or?

Agree. I had 35 inch tires and now 32s. It has 4.56 with LS (suregrip) 8.25 Dakota. Abuse it every day. Run it until it explodes.
