I've been running my 8 3/4 with a alum center
for years..
Keep it off the track, and a 8.75 will live forever.... here’s your proof!  BS,Beat the hell out of em on the street AND the track in a slo azz mid 9 second car in the low 1.3 60's and IT will live for many, many happy years.................   Not worth my time.. I guess he built a tank and the 8 3/4 broke.. my car is light and its holding up fine with a back brace and the alum center  No doubt about being light helping and of course foot-breaking helps a BUNCH............
72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

It is funny how some go rounds for years and some break in the burnout box first time out......
I once saw a Falcon do a burnout and spit the pion and driveshaft from his 9" Ford twenty feet past the starting line. So I suppose all big pion 9" Ford's are junk all so?
Have a great day

I ran a 8.750 for a lot of years and everyone said that it won't hold and will break,,one year at Norwalk in the middle of eliminations it said good bye and spit a tooth out of the rear of the housing,, ruined my day, but they were right, eventually they will break, just a matter of when.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

This one? I've seen that mode of failure many times over the years. Nine-inchers love to do that.

Back when my Daytona was running 8.60's I lite both stage lights at Norwalk, floored it, and left go of the trans-brake button. The 9 inch rearend broke and never even moved out of the stage beems. I'm gonna say I had about 1100 runs on those gears and they were in the car when I bought it.

Most of the 9" I've seen do that didn't have a nodular housing in it.

I had a 31 spline Ford 9" in my 440 Demon. MILD engine. I took out 5-6 rear ends before I gave up. WAR cases, nodular cases, new gears every time, set up buy 4 different guys. No Ford 9" rears for me. I know they work for lots of guys. I'll pass though...

A good friend of mine raced a 64 300 K for 45 years, ran 11.0s @ 4100 lbs and only broke the 8 3/4 one time in the thirty years I knew him.
Have a great day

Now let's talk about cast iron heads. Lol I went 9.80's with them 35 years ago with 906's heads and pop-up pistons but I had a Dana rearend in the car so does that count?
