What he said ^^^^^^

Just about every part in a rear end has been listed here as a possibility. I just took my car out tonight for the first time since swapping in an 8 1/4. It has 3:55 gears & a Trak Lok unit. I had a guy in town set it up for me that has been doing axles & transmissions for almost 50 years. He...

Also not trying to hijack the thread but I called Randy's yesterday to get some info about sure grip units for my 8 1/4 & the guy made me feel like I was an idiot for even wanting to use an 8 1/4. I am building a mild 350 +/- hp 360 for my '65 Barracuda & unfortunately just don't want to play...

I have a friend that has an 8 1/4 rear end in his car. He has found a good deal on an 8 3/4 but it does not have backing plates, brakes or drums. Are they interchangeable between 8 1/4s & 8 3/4s? Thanks for any help.

I apologize to the OP if I gave incorrect info. No apologies are necessary. I just explained what happened to me. Something could be bent or broke in my tranny & the new NSS may work; I doubt it but.... I do not claim to be an expert, just wanted to help out since I get so much info from FABO...

I did the same thing. My car's NSS is grounded & I was getting my reverse lights working one day. I left the shifter in R after I got everything working, forgot about it during my excitement & almost went right through the back of the garage. Not sure if it was just me or my tranny but I put a...

The new pinion seal is in, only time will tell if it was done right. It is a 1 1/8" nut holding the yoke on for a '65 7 1/4 rear end; if anyone would like to know. It was relatively easy but the use of a lift would have made it very easy. It took me 2 hours laying under the car, could do one in...

So I am slowing fixing my cooling problems but I need to drive it 3 - 6 hours to flush the motor so I get ready to take a short drive last night. I pull the car ('65 Barracuda) out of the garage & park it in the driveway. I go to check to see what may have leaked on the garage floor. The usual...

Stopped at a tranny shop near work to see where they buy their fittings & the guy gave me one he found in his box. Got everything hooked back up tonight; time to take it out & check for leaks. Thanks for all the help guys!

Thanks for all the help guys. I love this site! I will begin my search tomorrow. I am going to start at NAPA & a tranny shop near my work.

Can anyone tell me where I can find one of these? The picture quality is not great but it is the fitting that screws into my 904 tranny & the tranny lines that run through the cooler on the radiator hook up to it. It is badly cross-threaded & appears to be one of my leak causes. O'Reilly's &...

Sold before I got down there. Never got the casting # but it was an open unit. I shall continue my search. May have to call the other guy with b-body 8 3/4s for $200. Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks for all the info guys! The seller seems to know what he has, he told me that all a-body 8 3/4s have small bolt pattern. I don't mind the small bolt pattern. That is what I have now & I have the rally rims on it which I wanted. I am also looking at the scarebird disc brake conversion for...

I have found an A-body 8 3/4 with 3.55 gears, everything drum to drum for $250. It seems almost too good of a price considering what I have been reading on FABO. I am going to go check it out this weekend. I have asked what casting # is on it & if it is a sure grip; awaiting a reply. Is it...

I am struggling with the same situation. I am looking for mounting hardware & options to put the original shifter back in my '65 Barracuda. If I solve anything I will post it.
