Except for cost. If you do go with a 8 3/4", buy a new one. Lots of places make them now like Dr. Diff. It will run about $1200, but with the crazy prices some people are getting for used A-body 8 3/4's(with no real idea of condition) its worth the added cost.

Should be a bolt-in(though I think you might have to change the driveshaft length), but they are almost bulletproof. If your going to be hitting it with the 273, I really don'tsee a problem there. That would be my first choice, and gears are readily available for them.
