8 3/4 worth

What would you pay for a complete b-body 8 3/4 with 742 case, 4:10 gears. Looking for rear ends but they seem to have a variety of values. Thanks

Sure Grip clutch type, complete with brakes? $1000.00 65'

I'd pay that for one, but they seem hard to find at that price. I've got 400 in a b-body housing, axles, and 742 case. That might be high but I didn't have to pay shipping.

if your going to narrow anyway, alternative is an 8.8 or even a Mopar 9.25.

I bought a B body open diff with 489 center, 2.76 gears complete for 100 bucks. Modified/rebuilt it and it resides under my car.

how much did you invest in modifications and rebuild?

so to pay 1000 for one that's mostly ready to run wouldn't be so bad

Probably not, as long as everything has been gone through/replaced. I probably have 40 hours in the rebuild by the time you move the perches, clean, paint and assemble the whole thing. I also fabricated a back brace for mine.

I also had to buy a dial indicator and magnetic base and build the tools for changing out the ring & pinion.
