Can it hook?
I run a dana in fast dart because it came in it...The slower dart which went 6.52 last night has an 8 3/4 in it. No plans on changing that rearend out. Welding the tubes and adding a brace will do it justice along with good axles and a good center section. Believe it or not you can pick up et with the lighter 8 3/4 over the dana...
