oh no, is this 8.75 housing too bad?

I have seen this in the past. My guess is that the housing was bent and this was someones attempt to get the axles to line up properly. I bought a shortened 9" housing and one end looked just like that. I have a 9" jig, when I put it on this housing you could tell it was purposely welded offset in a attempt to get the axle/bearing in the housing.
