    depressing newbe question of the day

    Your video of that u-joint moving radially tells the whole story. It's old and got beat up by the lack of a bolt. On final assembly, clean everything and use medium strength loctite. U-joints are cheap. Just call around locally and see how much someone will charge you to change them out. You...

    8 speed automatic coming!

    That's true but these work. The weight difference, if any, is offset by also being more efficient.

    Ring & Pinion question

    the 750 will be fine...it's a holley dp? the mp purple shaft 484/284 will be better than the other one but you really need more lift and duration to take advantage of those heads, intake and 3.91's! read this: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=35905

    Ring & Pinion question

    if you want to run 3.91's add more cam! looking at the parts list, the cam does not fit right! this fits right!: .550" lift w/235 dur @ .050" lift and 3.91's!!!! and go with a flat tappet solid!!!

    Ring & Pinion question

    3.55's and maybe go to a 650 dp w/vac 2nd's
  12. mopar340dave

    Ring & Pinion question

    3.55's are what you want you will run out of rpm before you run out of quarter mile with 3.91's or more.

    How Many Horses does your Posi eat?

    A stock 9" compared to a stock 8.75"? No comparison...the 8.75" is stronger. Just look at the shaft size and bearings...Ford copied the 8.75" and in typical Ford fashion, they went cheap. Ford has always tried their best to do everything cheap. Henry Ford would do some pretty tricky stuff to get...

    How Many Horses does your Posi eat?

    Yup, I saw that too. No difference, performance-wise. Strength-wise? 68 SS Barracuda's and Dart's used both. 8.75" for the Torqueflite cars Dana 60 for the 4 speed cars Obviously, the 4 speed cars are harder on the rears so they required the 60 to live. The only reason's that I can think of to...
