I had issues with the deep chrome pan leaking and it turned out the mating surface for the gasket just needed to be sandblasted to get things to mesh right. Had a similar issue with the chrome Mancini water neck. Sanded down the gasket surface with a flat sanding block, put in a new gasket and...

There's only one way to find out how much an 8 1/4 rear can take... after you hit that threshold then go 8 3/4, or better yet Dana 60

I took a look at that kit and am leaning towards that direction. Looks like a quality product from what I can tell!

Does anyone offer a heavy duty kit with the red friction disks and heavy duty bands all included?

Great article! Thanks!

I'm looking at the rebuild kit Mancini offers and will opt for the Cheetah reverse manual valve body. Should be a fun and durable combo I think. The kit is like $220. I'm not positive on the cost of the VB yet tho

.....define stupid.....

Hey folks! Question is: Is it possible to have 727 tranny that can take 450 hp, 3800 stall, and 10.5 slicks all without gernading itself or the wallet? I've seen performance race rebuild kits with stronger bands and what not for around $200, but is it worth the money? Should I just buy a...

Is $100 a fair price on a set of used A body big bolt pattern axels? Let me know!

Thanks Longgone, thats a solid reference. Appreciate it

Thats good info, I never knew that. Thanks

Thats what I told'm! Because everyone who has a Dana usually gets those chrome rear covers. But ya can't do that with a 8 3/4.

Is this rear end a Dana? The casting numbers I got say its from a 742 center section but the guy says it's a Dana rear and I think he's crazy.......I know someone knows better. Let me know

But he said the casting code was lik 2070742 or w/e so I know it from a 742. Its just the gearing doesnt sound rite like you guys stated. Something is fishy and not just because its Lent

I'm looking into buying a 8 3/4 center section from a 742 case for $100. The guy says its a 2.71 gear on the tag. I can't find that Chrysler used that ratio anywhere in their history of sure grip 8 3/4's. Someone enlighten me before I make a bad purchase!

I know what your sayen. I just don't think this 8.25 will stand up to the 360 once all together again. The motor has already blown a torque converter and tranny says the last owner. But what I'm reading is that $350-400 sounds like a fair price to set on this rear then I guess. I appreciate the...

I'd really like a 742 housing or a 4.10 ring and pinion set for a 742 center section. If anyone has anything a good trade or partial trade could be in order.

It's in super good condition. Paint isn't perfect but would be a great bolt on as is

I have a large bolt pattern 8.25 rear end in my Duster, sure grip with 3.91 gearing. Its a strong rear but I believe my small block is surpassing it's beef. Anyone have a decent estimate at what this is worth? Complete drum to drum.

I got him to look into the casting numbers and I found out it's geared at 2.71 and it came from a 742. I think i'm gonna pounce on this one and keep it till the time come when the 8.25 blows.

SO ideally i want this to fit into a 742 casing? He say's as far as he knows its 2.73 gearing but he's not positive. I just don't wanna buy it and be stuck with an undesirable hunk o metal. I'm in college, not a lot of money to play with! Living on Ramen and Milwalkee's Best at the moment just...

Okay someone has to clear this up for me! I'm know I'm gonna feel like a turd in a punch bowl but sure grip vs posi? The two terms get thrown around so loosely its hard to keep track which is which! Open gear means one wheel wonder which means sure grip? Posi means a double peel? I would like a...

A guy on the local craigslist is selling a 8 3/4 3rd member from a (68,69,70) vintage Super Bee. He says it's posi with 2.73 gears. He doesn't know much else about it so i can't tell which casing it matches. He wants $100. Anyone think this would be a wise investment for the future? Down the...

I have a 360 (.040) over with the primo balanced internals. 340 heads port n polished with triple coil valve springs and Crane gold adjustable rockers. .282/.510 Crane cam. The combo should be good for an estimated 400-450 hp. So let me know!

I currently have a 8 1/4 rear end with 3.91 gears and just purchased a TCI Super Street Fighter torque converter that stalls to 3800 (possibly 4000). I was just wondering if anyone could gimmie an estimate on the longevity I should expect with that rear end set up? The car is set up for drag so...
