FWIW, a rather rare MW Alum 8.75, shown first with 3.55 R&P and billet yoke, changed out to a lighter 2.76 and alum small Mopar yoke. Its a Auburn, not sure why 20? years ago i went that route. Notice the thickness of the mounting flange, caused a few issues installing. The weight on the scale is shown.
