[WANTED] 1973 B body 8.75 housing

[LXguy]

Hey All

I know this is the A body forum, but was wondering if anyone had an 8-3/4 housing for a 73 B-body lying around?

Located in Champaign Illinois. Cash waiting!

Thanks!

Just FYI and E body axle is awfully close in size...and MUCH cheaper and easier to find.

I think I have one. Does it have rubber isolator's where the springs mount?

 

[LXguy]

Mine doesn't have rubber isolators. Though, it is on a race car, but I don't remember anything like that.

E body housings are cheaper? They're about an inch narrower and I would have to cut and reweld the spring perches. I could do that, but I'd rather find a bolt in!

Thanks!

I have one that I can dig out of my shed if needed. It is the red housing in the picture.

Glad someone found you one...wasn't in the mood to start digging through storage

You'll want to run with no isolators anyway if you're racing.

If not using the rubber isolators, wouldn't you want a 71-72 housing?

I have a bunch of 8 3/4 just the housing? I bought some heads from you a few years back. I go to Champaign quite a bit.

Jeez, never saw one out of the car before. Its about long enough. No wonder I twisted the other one.

If you can, PM me a price and how much for shipping to Champaign IL, 61822

Thanks!

Probably. I don't know? I just need to attach the monoleafs to it.

So the 71-72 is different than the 73-74?

Maybe I should go with a custom unit....

Thanks for the help everyone. I believe I have found a housing.

Thanks!
