I know you fast guys have broken 8-3/4 gears before. so dont know if you want to see another pic. but i will post one anyway.lol so going by the pic what caused it to brake? to much power,rear not set up right or did both cause it to brake? well at least i can say my car has to much power lol 6313171-005[1280x768].JPG (264 downloads) 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

Finally, the pinion would land on a spot on the ring gear where two 1/2 teeth were broken, then it would "shell" the ring gear at that spot. The damage was always done at the starting line. It finally pick up a broken tooth , between the ring and pinion when I lifted at the finnish line and momentarally lock up the rear end. Lucky for me it broke something else and turn it loose. Locked up rear end at 100 mph is not something I ever want to do again. It was at that point that I put a Dana rear end in. Brian Dunnigan

That will get you by while you save for a Dana, I put a pro gear in my 8-3/4 in 1997 and it's holding up fine. Pro gears are hard to find nowadays, tho.

I've broken plenty of 8.75 ring gears but since I went to the aluminum carrier and the pro gear I haven't broken anything.

Seems many go out and brake another set or two right away and replacing the center section fixes that. http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/casehousings.html

I never thought this car would brake the gears like it it. because my old 65 plymouth had a 742 case and 4.30 gears and i dont know how many passes it had on it. the 65 weighed 3500 pounds with me in it and would run 1.41 60 ft running 10.50 at 127-128. it never broke on me. but i did end up putting a dana under the 65 just in csae something like this happend. but the 8-3/4 gear set up is still kicking in my buddys 64 dodge. 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

I have a brand new set of 4.10 gears in the box i can use or a used but like new set of 4.56 gears i could use. I am thinking about putting the 4.10 or some 4.30 in it and play with it on the street untill i get the money saved up to build a dana for it. 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.
