I think my 8 ¾ housing is toast.
Dana, 4 link, mono leafs, floating perches......see how easy it is for us to spend your money....lol.
Seriously, i love your car and good luck on what ever you decide.
I've seen moly tubes used on salisbury type housings before. Not sure that's even possible on a 8 3/4. I never had your kind of power to break one before:cry:.
One of the big magazines, Car Craft possibly, did a back to back 8 3/4 vs Dana strip test and the Dana was only a few hundredths slower even though it weight about 50 lbs. more IIRC. Don't think you'll lose anything if you go that route.
P.S. looked thru my magazine archive and was unable to locate that article...may have been tossed by now? A google search turned up a post at another site from about 5yrs. ago recalling the same article...said it was HotRod mag. and the dana was a few hundredths faster. So either way, performance wise should be a wash.
