I was looking under a Kia Sorento the other day (don't worry I showered to wash all the rice off)
And to my surprise the rear end is a front drop out just like a 8 3/4 or ford 9 inch ......interesting to say the least

I think the Durango are close from what I have seen but you have to weld spring perches on them, forgot what years, and the jeep 35 is definitely wider, but all the guts fit in a 2.45 8 1/4 and lower carrier. There is a ton of info in the 8 1/4 thread Memi and I are doing.
You cant find 8 1/4 diffs out there? They do pop up around here not often but do. I will not pay more than $200 for them with the shock plates.

I wonder what other rear ends are out there and readily available that would take a 360's wrath ...ford 8.8 ??

Hey bartender!
Kinda sucks.. grab a 7.25 and slap it in there and keep shopping. 8.25s show up every now and then. I feel fortunate to have an 8.25 for the Dart and a 8.75 for the Barracuda. Now if could only get them installed!

Hey bartender!
The 8.8 from an explorer (cut the tube and use 2 short-side axles) seems the most economical way to go.. and get disc brakes in the process.
I could "That's what she said" you for that, but I won't....
How about a Chrysler 8.8??? (8 3/4 to be exact)...

My 73 dart has a BBP 7 1/4 because it always was a disc brake car with a 318/ auto but with a 360 ....probably won't last long
Wow, it's 72° F out right now... Nice...
But supposed to climb to 91° F later....

I laid it out there for you..
If you do a 8.25 right they are good to 500 hp easy. Just have to use quality components.

People tend to think an 8 3/4 is a retirement plan these days .
There is one on cl local to me with no price. Then you call it and the dude is like " its worth 2k easy to a road runner guy"
Its an a- body unit with sbp and 3.23 open.

Hey bartender!
The 7.25 will do just fine unless you plan to pound on it. It'll last a lot longer than you think under normal usage. Should give you time to find something beefier. And you won't need a new driveshaft..
Ben Drinkin
Hey bartender!
Thats about a $600 unit at most.

I always thought the 8 1/4 is way under rated .....people used to throw them away for no good reason
