Alright thanks for this info. I am very ignorant about the 8.25. figured this thread would help me out. I did not know about the crappy gear ratios. I think the guy that's been asking about my 8.75 is going to be upset. Oh well. That's life. Thanks. I have the front disks out of a 76 dart so I was trying to find the least expensive way to go to BBP out back.
