That maybe is a 71-73 b body rearend. Don't cut it down. I may do some trading for it with you.

I don't think the perches measured correctly to be 71-73 b-body. It's a good housing/axles.

Bet it would be perfect for a Volare/Aspen. May even a Cordoba?
 
Update on the motorcycle wreck and my dash cam. It turns out that my dash cam was not recording what it was seeing. It recorded me trying to view what I thought I had recorded. So I have two 10 minute recordings of me trying to get to the file that should have contained the wreck. I love modern technology.

Haha! Sorry for laughing but I have the same luck. I bought a camcorder with my stag money, as my wife and I went on a 3 week honeymoon road trip thru Virginia upto New Hampshire. After viewing the tapes , I realized that half the footage was of my feet as I mistakenly double tapped the pause button all the time. I guess she got over it as she's put up with my lack of high tech skills for 20 years now. Your quote made us both laugh out loud .

well, small blow to the project, but not all is lost....

The 8.75 rear end that I had for a few years that I took on trade (said to be a B-body/3.23) with another mopar guy… well, I dug it out. It's 46" center to center on the perches and about 56" flange to flange..... LOL. E-body? C-body? Oh, and those 3.23's.... ummm yeah, try 2.76's :D

good news is the case is 742, and a good 2.76 is nice to have around. The rest? back to storage.

I guess Jaba caught a break, I'll be starting the race with 2.94's...… way up from 2.45's … LOL
:lol:

I'm thinking about replacing a 9 1/4 under a truck with an 8 3/4.

I got that son of seed truck rear end, but first I'm not sure if it fits ya'lls needs, and if that star lines up, I'm sure shipping would kill a fair deal...

well, for me a truck rear end would be taking the hard road. Have to have it shortened (axles and housing), perches moved. I'll get a complete 8.75 B-body.

Like I said fits y'alls needs...
I wasn't sure that the eight and three-quarter you had was just the perches. And of course jab isn't specific about why he wants to replace the 9 1/4? In what?
 
It would be more like if you could use the 489 case with a 355 open and jab needs a truck rear end housing and axles, .. the only 9 and 1/4 I've ever had was on a truck...

Give me 3.55's and you might as well cough up the 40 bucks tonight :D

Lesson for the day
In 1973 the Plymouth Roadrunner was available with the 8 and 3/4 with a 340 in front of it and also I had a 73 Roadrunner 400 big block car it came with the 9 and 1/4. I believe that was about the last year for the 8 3/4 in a car.
I also had a 73 Roadrunner with a 318 manual 3-speed on the floor that came with and 8 and 1/4.
I also had a 73 Roadrunner GTX that came with a 440 with the 9 and 1/4 behind it.
You may notice I like the 73 Roadrunner. Most of them are red but the 440 Roadrunner with the GTX package was blue.
The reason I want an eight and three-quarter to go under a Dodge truck is I'm not having a lot of luck with these 9 in the quarters. My 76 Plymouth trailduster has a 9 and a quarter under the back of it and I would just soon it had an eight and three-quarter.

Oh crap what am I thinking LOL? I think it's going to take more than 355's...

The one you have is for a car correct? How wide is it??
Click to expand...
46" from center to center on the perchs. I think about 56" from flange to flange (housing)

What problems did it cause you?

too wide to begin with. couldn't put the rims/tires I wanted. 2nd, I had to cut the perches off and weld new on. B-bodies are just as cheap, common, and don't have those two issues.

I was just wondering I hadn't run into any problems. It might be just the SS Springs that I have that Jack the car up so high I can put anything under there...
 
So I forgot to ask.....
You both where at the track at the same time...
Did either of you make a pass??

We both made a pass at the same time in 318needmorevalves yellow Mustang. I guess you could say that was a tie. LOL We both got to the end of the track at the same time.
