Re: 8 3/4 stocker rear
Be thankful that you found it before catastrophe hit. I think that you will be pleased with Jim Bailey's work. An 8 3/4 should hold up in your car. Have you ever seen Darcy's car launch? WOW! I run the same combo as Darcy but in a 3995 lb wagon. I played with 8 3/4s for years and wasted too much money before I finally switched to a Dana 60. Set up 3 race ready 8 3/4 chunks and you've paid for a Dana. I respect that it could be a little slower (not even a tenth) but you cannot win a race when they need a hook to get your hot rod off the starting line!
Good Luck! Chris Barnes Wagons of Steel Stock 6621 |

Re: 8 3/4 stocker rear
Sound's like the pinion depth was wrong to me also.

Re: 8 3/4 stocker rear
Sometimes when you set the drive pattern to much to the toe it runs off the heel on the coast side. That could cause the cracks on the end of the ring gear, which I have seen before. I have also seen the cracks in the pinion, in the 5.13 and 5.57 ratios.
