Rear end

Finally got out to take a look at the rearend in the Dart and it appears to be the 8.75 with the smooth back and everything comes out the front.
If you're able to upload a picture of it, that can be easily confirmed. If it is an 8 3/4 it should be able to take a good amount of power without grenading. Also, if it doesn't already have one, I would advise you to invest in a sure grip differential.
