Re: 8 3/4 Diff.

[Joey <jake4@xxxxxxxxxx>]

either 3:91 or 4:11 would work depending on how far you drive to the track 
and what your threshold for economic pain is for gas bills. I had 4:10's in 
my small block 4-speed Duster a couple of years ago and a 60 mile round trip 
cost about $60 but...that car did fly, I sure miss it. You might try 
contacting Dan Dvorak in Florida, I thought I had seen recently where 
someone was advertising 3:73's for the 8 3/4 rear. Good Luck!, either way, 
it will be fun .
