Sorry, I'm in Cincinnati,Ohio

Got a used 8 3/4 housing out of 69 road runner-no guts Got empty 489 pig w/caps & adjusters as well. Upgraded to S-60. Make offer!

Thanks for the tip! John

AGREED !!!!!!

Lookin to upgrade to a complete Dana drop-in assembly. Reccomendations on the cheapest bang for the buck? Street car,heavy(3840)& manual tranny . sees minimal track time,but hard street use. John

Was it in the car working before you took it out? Need more info on why it was removed,and did the shop remove it, or did you remove it and take it to them? John

I forgot to mention that the scored area on the sure grip (scalloping)is old damage from 10 years ago when my old 3:23 pinion was loose and rubbed against the housing. These are Richmond gears now(4:10). 2 days before taking the car to the strip we replaced the yoke because of a stripped u-joint...

Took my car to Edgewater Motorsports Park this weekend. Discovery: Healthy 383,slicks,& a 4-speed=BROKEN 8 3/4 with 4:10 gears. Will post carnage when I find my camera.Caps are not cracked,but the ring gear is missing more teeth than a Kentucky Hillbilly !

Been driving the car around town here n there.It just took some getting used to a diaphram style clutch after I've been using a Hayes street/strip with a 3 finger style for 10+ years. Clutch feels great now! Thanks for all the replies. john
