8 3/4 Center Section

GTX JOHN · 02-18-2016, 01:19 AM

Last time I ran one was early 1980's. Only gears then were from Mopar
Perf. that I could find. My 1980 Dodge Mirada O/SA is still running a
8 1/4 to this day in stock competitively on East Coast.

I do not know of anyone else in stock although there may be others. The Mirida runs mid 12s at 3620 lbs. and has the same ring and pinion for at least 30 years and three owners.

Larry Shephard told me back when these cars were new when Chrysler changed
from 8 3/4 to 8 1/4....they saved about a dollar a unit!

Randy's Ring & Pinion. the new Yokon case is very good

I am one of many that has swapped a 8 3/4 for a Dana, not done anything else and not slowed down a bit.

Same here in 2 different cars. Dana 60 is one less thing to worry about.
