[/quote]the facts are don't waste your money on an 8-3/4 period [/quote]

IMO: This is such a myth. I see plenty of 8-3/4's have nice long useful lives in race cars. Depends on the the weight of the car and the performance level. But for most 10 second foot-brake bracket cars, especially A-body's; I think a properly set up 8-3/4 can be good cost effective hardware. (Especially if you already have one) [/quote]by all means let the op waste his money putting it behind a BB stroker motor and find out the hard way..
