explorer 8.8 in an a-body: experience needed

Mopar Melee said

Interesting dialog. I am looking to do the same with my '65 Valiant. The cost of 8.75" Sure Grip from a B-body is painful. If I have less than 400hp I would think this could be an affordable solution to replace my weak 7.25" stock rear end. I wish this thread gave more specific "how to" and less "you can't do that"!

This thread is toast, already eaten by the people who want to spend all day telling you not to do it.

Here's is a great thread documenting a complete swap:http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=89918

It pisses me off when someone around here asks a question and everybody jumps in on there opinions instead of answering the question.

The op asked a question. Ten people said that he should do an 8.8, ten people said fix the 8-3/4". Two people are acting like jack@sses at 2am and the op still hasn't had his answer. Time and time again I've been on the side of the fence the op is on and I'd just abandon the thread, go it alone, and screw stuff up because I never got the advice I needed.
