Thanks for thinking of me Don. Just thought that I would make things easier for your friend instead of trying to ship these heavy things around the country.
Hi mullinax95, I have a complete, narrowed 8 3/4 rear with a 489 center section that I just took out of an old 68 Barracuda race car. The car has been sitting for over 15 years. It's got 4.56 gears but I don't know if it's a spool carrier or sure grip. I haven't taken it apart yet but I can do it in the next couple of days if you might be interested. I have someone interested in the housing and Strange axles so I'll have the center section available for sale.
