Looking to beef up my 8 3/4 over the winter and wanted some feedback here. It currently has stock axels, 3.91 gears, locker type, and green bearings. It is in my 67 Coronet, 470, 727 trans w/ a 3k converter, current best is 12.1 @ 112.42, 1.68 60' on M/T drag radials (and would like to use slicks in the future). I'm looking to beef up the rear and install new axels, but am not sure what to select. I'm not looking to make this into a 10 second car... maybe an 11.20's car by next summer. So, which ones should I use? MW? Strange? Any other brands I am not aware of? Anything else I should be aware of? Thanks for your input. I appreciate it!

MW are excellant but there splines on their axles are not interchangeable with other manufacturers products, i went with moser on the axles because there customer service is excellant. Strange is also a good company but there customer service stinks and its hard to order from them, you cant just give them dimensions and order,they ask how and why ? making ordering from them very difficult, its not a easy process.
as far as driveshafts MW hands down. Moser is my choice for axles, you wont go wrong but go with 35 spline.

Thanks for the replies here. One thing I forgot to mention, the car is primarily a street car and will see about 25% time on the strip. Therefore, is a spool the best choice? I have heard it is not if the car will be driven on the street.
Anyone else for input on axels and the such? Thanks for all the info here. Dave
a spool is a little tough on the street but doeable. if you plan on making a few tricks to the track, go for the spool. i ran a spool on the street for years just go easy around turns.

Mark Williams will spline axles to suit any spool using the 30 pressure angle. Mark Williams stuff has a 45 degree pressure angle usually. Moser stuff is strong, but not finished to the same standard that MW stuff is. You get what you pay for. In most cases, the Moser stuff is OK AL....

Mark Willaims over Moser every time. Strange Over Moser every time, al though I wont hesitate to put a set of Moser axles in a 3000 lb 9 second ride.

if the springs are moved in, or ladder bars. you might consider a back brace.
my springs are moved in 3 inches... never thought about the back brace.... even running low 11's?

I have done business with Dr. Diff before - front disk brake kit - and know he is very reliable. Point taken... Thanks.
