    8 3/4" Differential Question..

    Thinking of ordering a Sure Grip unit from Doc Diff. My donor Newport rear has an open unit. Any reason i can't use the donor pinion and ring gear with the new Sure Grip? Its a 3.23 ratio and the look to be in good condition. I like the ratio for The Darts future use and hate to toss good parts.

    Summit 383 Top Performer kit

    So this was Summit’s answer if the 2086 Top Kit would fit on a 65 383 block. I’m still confused. What would it matter if the plug angle in original heads was different from 68 blocks on? The 2086 kit comes with new heads so wouldn’t be an issue. Is there ANY diffference in the 67 and earlier...

    WHO can shorten a C-Body axle housing?

    I can’t believe that not one machine shop in my area will shorten an axle housing. They all reacted like it was the worst request ever. Even a few suspension only specialty shops balked. Can you send a whole housing to Dr. Diff or Moser for shortening? It’s a donor Newport’s C-body 8 3/4 for my...
