8.75 741 case strength?

Even though the 741 case is the weakest of the 8-3/4 cases doesn't mean it's a weak case. I've seen them stand up to racers running in the high 10's. Something overlooked so often when talking about a 741 case is the fact that the pinion in it is still larger than a Ford 9" pinion. The only thing the Ford has going for it is a 3rd support bearing.

If this is a complete rearend $400 is a fair price even in spite of the hwy gears and open differential IMO...
