I have an 8.25 rear end for sale. Came from a later 60s dart. Drums have been painted and turned. Has emergency brake cables. Just the rear end, no mounting hardware. Asking $225 for it. Plus the ride if you want to meet halfway from a reasonable distance.
 
Why O Why are these great parts so far away :banghead:
I am always keeping an eye out in my area for an early A 8 1/4 rear open or shure grip :blob:
These skinny 8 1/4's are hard to find for a 66 model bolt in and ready

Should move fast :hello2:
 
did late 60's darts come with 8.25 rears? my service manual only mentions 7.25, 8.75, and 9.75
 
Yeah that was my bad on that. It was in a late 60s dart. It was definatley swapped before it was pulled and sold to me.
 
ya i think its a 8 3/4 to here is a thing they just sent me

Good Morning All,

Let me begin with saying that I'm brand new (ie...joined the forum last night) and may have lots of "dumb" questions. But I just got a 74 duster with a slant 6 that I'm updating to a 360(already found a motor and have it torn down and ready for the machine shop). With that said, I've been hearing and told a lot that I should get an 8 3/4 for my car. Would the 8 1/4 be good enough (to help with costs)?

I appreciate the help and any advice!

This should be moved to its own thread, IMO. I've read that their is some interchangeability of gears that makes the 8 3/4 advantageous too. But Im pretty darn green myself.
I've also read that the 7.25 is just pretty darn useless and by implication anything is a lot better, my 7.25 rear still gets my as around just fine for now.
a selling thread is not the place to be asking and pointing out the advantages of one part over another.... IMO
<---- im with hypocrite

Yes, and yes. 8.25 is enough, save the 8 3/4 cash and buy the gears you WANT for your 8.25

the 8 1/4" rear is plenty strong enough for a street car, if you don't plan to beat on it to hard
 
I am with pishta , put your money to the 81/4 , if it is an 81/4 , unless you are going with ultimate horse power , i know alot of guys using the 81/4 at the track with slicks and have no problem , Gears are cheap , bearings and seal also.
