You are already buying Axles ring and pinion bearings carrier (sure grip) Buy all the same parts just for a Dana and get a Dana housing You can buy all this stuff for a 83/4 then in a year or two buy it all again for a Dana in my experience. The issue is the housing flexes and it breaks gears. I had every part made to upgrade a 8 3.4 and it still broke the ring gear after 2 years of racing a 3600# car that ran 10 teens. Take every ones advise and spend the money once
