There is nothing wrong with your 8.5, don't let those guys tell you wrong. They are every bit as strong as a 12 bolt. I have had mine in my stocker running low 1.40s 60 foots for 20 years and about 2500 runs and I have had to replace the ring and pinion 3 times so that is about 750 runs. Put a spool and axles in it and you will be good to go.
