Another Rear Axle ID Request

[RenVill]

I'm at the point of focusing on the rear end of my 72 Demon and would like to see if I can get some help identifying what is already on there prior to buying anything new. The previous owner dropped a 360 and 727 in the car but I dont remember any info on the rear end. I'm thinking it looks like a 7 1/4" but any help confirming would be appreciated. Sorry for the shitty pics.

yep 7.25

I agree 7 1/4.

Looks like it is indeed a 7 1/4 so I'll be spending some bucks with an upgrade. Thanks everyone for confirming.

Run it until you break it, but get another rear ready...

Run it...Sure grip, gear ratio?

7 1/4. Might live a good long time behind a mild 360 with an auto with a stock converter, and true street tires (NO DRAG RADIALS!!)
If it were mine..... I'd start shopping for an explorer 8.8 to narrow and put under it..... but that's just me.

The future plan for the car is not the 360 or the 727 auto.

Plenty of 7.25s have lived a very long life. Nobody ever refers to them as such, but they are a Dana 7.25. Pretty good little rear end.

I'd still put a well built 8.8 behind a 440 four speed. But I would probably use a Dana 60.
