Rear End

Nodemon.
Do you know if your 8 3/4 has original bearings or green bearing on the axles?
Here we go folksā€¦
GREEN BEARINGS!!! Dun dun dun.
If the axles have the factory style roller bearings then you might want to check the end play since you are looking things over.(.006) ballpark. Slight clunk when pulling on a wheel jacked up IF adjusted properly.
If green bearingsā€¦ then finish your motor then git it in there for a road test.
