Thanks Steven I sent you an email.

Now I have more questions... Does that Dana unit go in as a direct swap considering I have an 8 3/4?

You wont be able to use that.

You wont be able to use that.

Could you elaborate because I was just told the opposite.

"basically all you have to swap is your ring gear n bearings n adjust it to fit if you want to run the 3.23 ratio"

I had a long conversation with CHARGERSTEVEN last night the owner of the unit and he is certain the swap is possible and plans on using another Dana he has in a similar application. I'm going to be looking at the unit Friday

Well I stand corrected, if he said you could use it. I was under the impression that nothing swapped out from Dana to 8-3/4, but never having owned a Dana, I am obviously mistaken.

Actually it's still up in the air lol... I actually thought the same as you and Now we're both not sure! Anyone with any knowledge of this swap it would be great to have your input

Thankyou,

Mike

Update to my update... I now know that I have a 742 unit. The guy doing the work on my car right now says he can get the pro series auburn position for it which he says is a good setup for $675... How does this stack up against what Dr. Diff is offering?

I live in the Buffalo NY area; if it'll save you $$ you can ship it to my place. I can meet you on this side of the border near the peace bridge.

Stand up thing to do bud.

Update: Got in touch with Dr. Diff today and went with the complete 489 Case with Eaton True Trac 3:55 ratio same as Grabinov

Thanks again everyone for your help and I promise not to use the "P Word" again

Clad you finally made a desision at least it will be go to go in the spring

A Dana 60 carrier unit (the SureGrip unit or posi) will NOT fit into an 8 3/4. The Dana 60 carrier is much bigger and 'carries' a larger diameter ring gear. Here is a pic of a side view...the 60 is on the left. Moot point now but at least you'll know the difference between them.

WHO in the world told you you can put ANYTHING D-60 in a 8.75????????
