I agree clay, the 8 3/4 is more than adequate. Mine has
survived the last 12 years including the constant torturing
during my high school years even with a big block and a 4
speed in my Charger.
Mike if you have located an 8 3/4" for a decent price,
check the numbers on the 3rd member. Try to get a case
with the casting numbers ending in 742 or 489. The 489
case is the best because the pinion diameter is like 1-7/8,
much larger than the Ford 9" by the way. Even a 741
(A-body) case would probably be more than you'll ever need,
but get one of the other ones if you can.
also, its just my opinion, but dont count out the
