8.25" rear end upgrade

Syleng1 said
Please note: the larger the gear you go ie 3:55 or 3:7 etc.... the easier it is on a 8-1/4”.

But i admit they are a good rear axle. But harder to make a swap at the track than a 8-3/4”. That is the actual appeal of the 8-3/4” rear. Swap out gears in less than an hour at the track. But even that rear has personal preferences- 741, 489, 742. Opinions every where. Pick a route and stay the course.
Good luck.

I always loved the 8.75 for the gear swap bit. I've swapped gears once each time I've owned one. I've also damaged one. Personally now I like the dana. And they are far cheaper.

you want a gear change for the strip? Buy a GVOD or an OD transmission. I can run my 4.56's down the interstate to the strip and then blast through the traps at an ideal Rpm.
