8.8 swap

jrlegacy23 said

The odds are the 8 3/4 will also need to be rebuilt and cost more, therefore saving money going with the 8.8. I rebuilt my 8.8 by choice, and still have less money in it that just buying the center section of an 8 3/4. I have a little more than the amount of buying an A-body housing.

Yeah I don't think it HAS to be rebuilt just that I want to. I'd love to know where everyone is getting their sure grip A body 8 3/4 for so cheap, maybe that's a westcoast thing. Most drum to drum setups I've seen out of running vehicles are priced at around a grand. Most center sections and A body housings are $300-500 and then there's the issue of shipping. I'm thinking of just rebuilding most of it myself and leaving things like the pinion depth to someone else.
