So, the ring and pinion WILL directly bolt into a 7.25" rear?

In the parts for sale section there is a posting for Dakota front diff gears that could be used in a 7 1/4" rear. Is this correct?

good idea

Thanks! What the converter efficiency % on a stock torque converter?

What about passing gear? Will a 1.54 2nd gear be to low at highway speed with 2.76 or numerically higher rear?

The car: 72 Valiant, w/ 225, when finished the engine will be warmed over, but not a fire breather... The goal: Get a little more "get up + go" without killing drivability... The idea: Change gear ratios...the rear is 2.76, so keep that or change to 2.96 or 3.23, and a wide ratio trans...

Thanks! I called and it seems like I can get everything I need for under $200

Thanks, I did mean 2.74...

I have a 72 Valiant w/ a 225 and a 904. I want to get 1.74 first gear. Where can I find gears? Should I just look for a trans that was already geared low? I think that would be post-1980 and I would need the tourque converter too. Anything else I'd need to change?

I have a 72 Valiant w/ 108" wheelbase and a 904. I have most of the parts I need to put together an 8 3/4 rear. What driveshaft do I need?

How can I ID a 7 1/4 suregrip? I would like a little more traction w/o switching to 8.25 or 8 3/4. I doubt I'll be pushing it hard enough to break it.

Why is BBP 5/16" longer?

Thanks, I'll check it out

OH! I thought it was an abbreviation for something, thanks!

I'm purposley being dense, but whats ned?

What is the proper length for a-body 8 3/4 axles? What are the measuring points?

Mine showed up today. Very instructional, big thanks!

What's a slapper bar?

thanks for the clarification

I was offered a free 8.8 limited slip from a Bronco. Think I should go see if its still there?

nope, i didn't want you to make the same mistake as me. i have an e-body housing, 55" wide. i learned through this forum ebody axels can't be shortened.

Do you have axels?

Thanks, how did i ever learn anything before getting online?

I've got a line on a never used sure grip unit for $100. What are the different types? What kind should I be looking for? How do I tell what is what?

Thanks! I didn't know that about E-axels.

WOW! my typing really sucks!

I have collected parts. I have an e-body housing and axels and a 741 open w/ 3:23 gears. How do I find a reputable shop to turn this into aValint rear for me?

I figgered just a typo

I saw the 64x2 posting for the rear. I had the same thought! If i ever find the housing i guess i will have to find someone to shorten it. I don't have a "shortening jig", my welding skills are meager at best, and after the time and money investment finding one, i'd hate to screw it up!

I guess I'll look around and see what I find for C-body rear. What's involved in shortening it? Anyone know a shop out my way?
