Curious, are the double ended studs on the big block cylinder head to exhaust manifold the same as the center section mounting on an 8-3/4"

I had someone ask today, and I honestly don't know. I've never had one out of the rear diff.

IIRC, the mounting bolts on the 8-3/4" are a flanged head bolt, not a screw-in stud. I got some from a ford dealer. They were the same as the brake mounting bolts on a 8.8" rear.

8 3/4 housings have a knurled stud with a head on them. You can put the nut on them and pound them out. Think of a wheel lug stud. The trick I am waiting to hear is how to reinstall them. Pulling them in with the nuts does not work to well......

the stud in the housing for the center I am pretty sure is the same as the studs on the end axle tubes .

C-Clamp and a socket over the stud portion

Hmm, that worked fine for me 2 weeks ago, just make sure you have a clean thread and the proper tall nut.

The center section studs are about 1/4" longer than the backing plate studs.

Mancini has a bubble packed hardware kit with all of the studs/nuts.
