9” or Dana 60 , or even Ford Explorer 8.8 , all better rear ends than 8 3/4
This will go on for days now ..... lmao
Yes, there will be guys come forward who have ran 8's at 5000 pounds with a stick and a stock 8 3/4 and never had an issue.
My experience mirrors Don's, the second pass my then new 408 hooked up it shucked the teeth on a pretty fresh 4.30 geared 8 3/4. It ran high 6.50's at 3260#.
