Thanks for the reply. The supply for the 8-3/4 has rapidly dried up, and for good reason. Easy swap with minimal changes, to a more robust set up for higher HP and TQ. But with anything, supply and demand drives the price up. I have a couple friends who run the lowly 8-1/4 on the strip, but they...

For the 8 1/4, nothing. It was in the car. For the 8 3/4, 1400 with the suregrip, 3.92 gears, 489 housing, good axles... honestly, price is pretty much ebb and flow. Just gotta decide how badly you want something with how long it'll take to find another one.

Just curious as to what you paid for the 8-3/4 before any improvements? I'll not dispute any diff in stock form is stronger as they step up. Of course they are. But there are ways to upgrade a weaker axle to the next level for a lot less $ and time tracking down a dwindling supply. Rarity drives...

Make sure the Alum is not from China. :lol:

Took the 330 for its 2nd test drive this wk. It's been since the late 90's since it's been on the road. Finely has a motor now, a 499" I put in about a yr & 1/2 ago. I dropped the front jets some for this test drive (should've dropped the squirters some) cause it smelled too rich, leaving a...

A spoof ad. WD-40 was around in the 1950s. :)

Ya know how you get your mind set on something and you just don't want it any other way? That's why I paid for the 8 3/4. Good news is, it's in great shape and will be in my mopar before too long. I figure a suregrip is 400, new gears are 200, finding someone to install is 300+...not that far...

400 is .75 down in the hole 440 is .123 down in the hole Both are really awful. Possibly the extra .50 affected flame propagation/squelch or some other damn thing? I do not have a clue and I was surprised and did not expect those results or I would not have spent the large pile of money and the...

If you bled the oil out of one of your lifters & then compressed the prod seat, the total distance is the....pre-load available. Somebody mentioned 0.210" earlier in the thread. It does vary with lifter brands, but there is usually up to 0.150" or more available. You can adjust your pre-load to...

Yes, that much we do know :D

I try to get all ducks in a row before I spin the first wrench. Air tools and cordless tools help a LOT.

"If you didn't push it, you'd probably be okay with a 440 and automatic." That's what I run, but the axles have been shortened, disc brakes installed, plus a girdle with bearing cap reinforcement. Hooked up to a 4-link with rubber bushings. (No heims). The 8-1/4 is tougher than most give...

This car has been on craigslist since I had my 66 Belvedere And that was a long time ago More than 6 years.

Hammer Time :lol:

Agreed. A whole lot of extra $ spent if you're just going to the grocery store. All that "be cool" stuff can be toned down with actual usage of the vehicle and a decent power to weight ratio. That 440 will perform just as well pert near stock in a lighter car.
