I'm selling an 8 3/4 rear end that will fit an A body car such as a Duster, Demon, Valiant, early model Barracuda, etc. I will post pictures this afternoon but if you want pictures before I post them here, call me at 404-357-5843.

Here's the story on the rear end. A few years ago I was building my '74 Duster. I had the 360 built to 400hp on the motor and planned to add 125 shot of nitrous. I debated building the 8 1/4 rear end under the car but the masses said that an 8 3/4 would handle the 500-550hp better.

So, I went all out on an 8 3/4 build. I found an 8 3/4" housing, found beefy C-body axles, bought a 742 case sure grip center section with 3:55 gears out of a '69 Road Runner. I did research and found that C body axles were thicker and stronger than a body axles and cheaper than aftermarket alloy axles. I sent the housing and axles to Moser Engineering to be narrowed 2 inches.

I had a mechanic put the rear end together for me and i painted it with black semi-gloss POR15. I even had 11" vs 10" brakes put on it. I later realized when I got ready to install the rear end is that because it's narrowed I needed to relocate the springs and I'd also needed to replace the yoke and shorten my driveshaft due to the 8 3/4 center section being longer than the 8 1/4. So, i lost motivation and due to job requirements at the time, the Duster and rear end has just been sitting in the garage. I'm running out of storage space and have decided that I will just build the 8 1/4" that's under the car now that I have time to resume work on the car.

Only the rear end is for sale and I need to sell it by Friday. The price is more than fair when you consider what a complete 8 3/4" A body rear end costs, IF you can find one.
Cash only and I'm not interested in trades. Thanks.

 

It's a 741 case and not a 742. Still a 3:55 suregrip though

 

I was wondering if the rearend is still for sale and how much it would cost to ship to Tucson Arizona
