I am replacing my 273 with a 340/727 in my '67 Barracuda. I am having trouble locating an 8 3/4 rear end. I am told that some guys are using old Ford Ranger 8.84 rear ends. I have access to an F9 rear end, no housing or axles. Has anyone here used either of these Ford rear ends?
I have been told the ford is a strong rear end, but it also takes some extra horse power to turn. more so than a 8 3/4 or 8 1/4. has any body else heard this?
