340 rebuilt, Slant 6 coming out

I considered doing the 8.8 swap in my dart for cost aspect of it but.. I managed to score an A body 8 3/4 housing and axles about 4hrs one way from me.. for probably more than an entire salvage yard 8.8 with brakes..between that, new stock 10 inch brakes from a fellow member, and a new center section from Quick Performance.. it wasn’t cheap but it was a total bolt in solution. I think I may have 2.5k in my rear axle stud to stud. Maybe a little less. All new axle bearings, housing end studs, brake lines, wheel studs… No hate here for going the 8.8 route though. Pickins are slim on A-body 8 3/4 axle setup that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Biggest cost was the brand new center section of course.
