We were just talking to someone about this yesterday, here at the track in Vegas, and were told that they too have heard nothing on this...

Too bad, because we could certainly use one. And the 5 - teen ones that are available are just too steep.

Jim Storms was the originator of a post last year and who did extensive research on this project. Does anyone have contact with him.

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
First of all Give Thanks to our Vetrans Today.

input:

What if we can have some major supply warehouses have these available. Mancini, Jegs, Summit, Mopar performance, MOSER, Richmond, Precision, Randy's etc add it to the part # listings MOPAR sections in their catalogs.

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
Any word on those Mopar 8.75 5.0 gear sets???

Chuck Beach 03-22-2012 07:55 AM

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
I have told Jim in the past, I am in for several sets but they must be for the 742 case. This is a better design than the tapered case ..

Buckner Racing 03-22-2012 03:21 PM

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
I have a deal working on this with Moser with the help of Larry Cummings. All I need is 25 sets sold and Moser will have 50 sets made.As of now everyone wants 742 case, pro gear, lightened. I was told at Indy that the cost would be around $500.00 a set. Right now I have 8 sets spoken for and Jeff said he would pickup 10 sets or so to make the order work. So this it who wants one post your name and I will forward Moser and lets get em' working. I spoke with all involved at Belle Rose this past weekend and Moser is waiting on us.

I have a set of Richmond 4.75 gears for the 42 housing that I may list soon, I wonder if they are desirable for any common combos.

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
I'm in for a 742 case 5.00 I may know a couple of others i'll let them know

These are set up in the case too and were new when I put them together, I made less than 10 runs and knew it wasn't right for the car.

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
here's what we have so far
Mike Natoli 1 Dave Wertman 1 gmonde 1
Jim Storms 1 Chuck Beach 2 Brandon Carter 1
Jerry Davis 2 George 1 Kelly Mackay 4
Mark Poole 1 Buckner 2
Thats 17 right now and with Jeff standing up for the 8 to make the order I can forward to Moser and see if we can get this going.

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
still here, it seams like when I did all this everyone who was
Interested only wanted a few sets. if someone. is really interested
in splitting the quantity that we need to purchase. I just don't really
want to have 250 sets of gears on my shop floor. step up and get it
done.

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
Unfortunately I spent a lot of my money on my race car and fast women and booze to go with it....

The rest I just wasted....

Otherwise I would jump in.....

Hey Ray,
Will these gear sets be street gears or pro gears?

Buckner Racing 04-10-2012 10:13 AM

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
Chuck, What I'm working on is 742 case, pro gear, lightened. The price talked about was $500 to $600. There is a company making new 742 cases now which should save having to find 40 year old wore out castings.

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
Hey Ray I would like to jump in on the 5.00 gear sets let me know what is happening with them thanks Bryan

mike natoli 08-27-2012 08:20 PM

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
Has anyone heard back from Ray Buckner or Jim Storms that 5.00 gear would be great to have available.

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
HI guys, just ran across the posts... count me in for two sets... Thanks, Glen H.

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
Hope this isn't a dead horse but would be interested if available!!

mike natoli 01-09-2013 08:02 PM

Re: MOPAR 8.75 5.00 gear
 
I'm still interested in a few 3 sets but since I'm a bracket racer I might just go from a 9" x 30" radial to10.5" x 31"
