your best bet would be to check some of your local salvage yards.

My 74 dart originally came with a slant six but Iput in a 360 v8 could i still use the original rear end that was for the six ?? And if not what rear end would fit??

mikerp76

i would go with an 8 3/4 rear axle. more gears available and a lot stronger than the original.

angelg56

But would the original work or just shred up ????

it depends on how you drive your car. my dad had a 69 dodge dart gts with the 340 and had a tunnel ram with 2 4's on it. i think he said he used the 7 1/4 rar axle. not really sure though will have to check with him this weekend.

Alright cool let me know and its gonna be a daily driver to school work and home but I would lik some power just in case some ones trying to race lol!!

Putting power to that rear end and racing with it is like poking sticks at a pitbull. It isn't a question of if it will bite, it's a question of when. It won't be a question of if the rear end will go, but when. If you granny it, it can live a long life. If you get on it, it will break, just a question of when and how bad.

Could I put a 8 3/4 rear end on my 74 dodge dart with no modifications???? Because i can get one right now for 300$??

RacerHog

Ummmmmmm... I dont think so. But I have been known to be wrong... But not often...

angelg56

What would o haft to do to make it fitt??

RacerHog

Depending on what it's out of... Could be as easy as moving the spring perches to as hard as Narrowing the Diff it self.

Take some Measurement... Maybe someone has already done the work for you... You never know....

I found a 8 1/4 rear end for 200$ but it says is for a bbody will it work in my 74 dartbswinger????

RacerHog

No.You will find the housing to wide and the spring mounts in the wrong location...
