8 3/4 rear 741 / 742 center case question - HELP!

For whatever reason the 742 case seems to appear behind most cars with enough HP to break something.
True, no doubt. But I suspect the reason there is simply that they were produced by the factory for many more years and installed in the cars that ended up at the track. -So many more of them out there to begin with.

I built my 489 with a solid spacer and Powertrax locker. :thumbrig:
