    8.25 setup, any ideas?

    27 splines until 1997(?) then they went to 29 splines. Not sure how much torque they can withstand, however a lot of it has to do with what type of tires you are running (think traction). Most agree that a hopped up small block will survive ok on street tires. ho much power do you think...

    8.25 setup, any ideas?

    Glad to see another yooper around here! I went to a parade today and saw this sitting in sombodys back yard. I'll have to see what the deal is on it in the next few days. Looks like it's pretty nice and has old MI plates so it has probably been hidden (maybe in the three car garage next to the...

    Hahaha, say the people that don't live here year 'round. Where are you from?

    8.25 setup, any ideas?

    Hey small block I'd be willing to trade can you send photos of the cars? Willing to sell outright? I really prefer the Dusters/Demons/Dart Sports. Have any rust free B-bodies? [email protected] Although the last couple rust free darts/dusters I bought were between $177.50 (plus...

    8.25 setup, any ideas?

    Yes, but swapping centers in the 8-3/4" is so easy/fast once you have several set-ups. It's a hard set-up to beat. Of course not many change their gear ratios much anymore. Heck not many drive their Mopars much anymore. I can't afford to replace parts, just because I want to. The set of...

    8.25 setup, any ideas?

    Nobody is gonna come up here looking for the stuff. Heck when I sell something half the time they don't come up here to look at it or get it! LOL In all seriousness if anyone is in the area I'll gladly show them how I do it. Maybe I just know the right people, maybe it's dumb luck, or maybe...

    8.25 setup, any ideas?

    I had no idea people thought these 8-1/4" rears were worth putting so much into. I just use salvage yard parts so it costs aboutr the same to "build" a rear whether it's a an 8-1/4 or an 8-3/4. The only reason I have $400.00 into any of my A-body 8-3/4" rears is because I choose to purchase the...

    $100 BBP Abod Axels?

    A while back I bought a rear pair set of Weld Zero Drag (identical to Centerline AutoDrag) 15 x 8.5" aluminum wheels with a 4-7/8-inch backspace for my 1974 Plymouth Duster. A 15 x 8.5" with a 4-7/8" backspace is not that easy of a wheel to find, no matter the vintage or wheel type. I e-mailed...

    $100 BBP Abod Axels?

    If a seller wants to hose you and only tells you what you want to hear, you're probably going to get hosed.

    $100 BBP Abod Axels?

    I've done so good on there, I love it. But you have to know what you are buying. Ask a lot of questions BEFORE pulling the trigger. Ask for more photos and measurements if necessary. This should go for whenever you buy something. I've made quite a few too good to be true deals on eBay...

    $100 BBP Abod Axels?

    Wow, maybe I am more tight than I thought I was. An entire 8-1/4" is barely worth $100.00...

    $100 BBP Abod Axels?

    You can buy Yukon aftermarket axles (or Dr. Diff's own house brand axles) for ~$200.00 shipped brand new so I don't think $100.00 is so cheap it should send up red flags. Even if they are re-drilled originals or re-splined C-body axles $100.00 is worth it and a small price to pay to have the...

    $100 BBP Abod Axels?

    A pair of A-body BBP axles are well worth $100.00.

    Need lot of driveshaft & 8.75" rear end help

    Thanks Tim. I am just trying to avoid cutting down my 'extra' driveshafts. Just hoping I have some 'extras' that may work. My dad has more cars than I do and less money so I'd be nice to not spending $100.00/driveshaft. he needs quite a few driveshafts for this coming spring/summer.

    Need lot of driveshaft & 8.75" rear end help

    OK driveshaft gurus I need some serious help... We put a 360/727/8.75" in my fathers 1972 Dart Swinger. Car was originally 318/904/7.25". Obviously the driveshaft will no longer fit. (There is a 95% chance the car will be getting a manual gearbox) 1. What is the proper length...

    POWER AND SLICKs....with the 8 1/4 help

    Dusterboy those weight numbers are also with no options on the car weighed. On a site named MyMopar why the heck would they list a 1972 Dodge Dart Sport 340??? Not only that but they say the weight of the 1972 models and 1973 models are the same. The 1973 models should be close in weight to...
