Currently running a stock width 8 3/4 in my Dart. The car is mini tubbed and has the 3" inboard kit installed.
If I go with the Dana will I have to shorten my drive shaft? I had one made with the larger U-joints when I switched from the 7 1/4 rear to the 8 3/4 rear.
Will the Dana fit with the stock gas tank?
Are the U bolts the same as well has the shock plates from the 8 3/4?
The 8 3/4 has held up great with no problems with my other 440's I've had in the past, I'm just leary with the 512" in there now thinking that my rear is possibly the weak link now. Also like the awe factor of a Dana sitting outback makes people wonder...
