8 3/4 and a 4spd

Another vote for the Dana 60. You will not regret going with the Dana. The 8 ¾ might hold up in your application for a while, but the likelihood of breakage is probably good. Have a small block stocker with a Jerico, and have had zero issues since installing the Dana 60. Can’t tell you how many 8 ¾ gear sets I broke before the Dana (slow learner). Also, there’s another Class Racer thread about the efficiency of the Dana 60 vs. other axles due to its hypoid gear pressure angle – Mr. Greene alluded to that. Another bonus!
