65 Barracuda Potential Project

FYI the 8 3/4 was first available in 1966 (at least in A bodies) and I’ve heard they’re hard to find. I believe the axles are narrower than any other 8 3/4. Moser Engineer makes a replacement for $4,500 (ouch) I think.


The 7 1/4 axles won’t handle more than a built 273 engine. Which is fine for me I’m starting a 273 build for a 65 this week. I recently had the 7 1/4 diff cover off and the gears and other hardware is pretty spindly.
