Keep 8.5 or sell and build 9"

I personally decided to stay with my 8.5 mainly because I could do the fab/welding myself to put the 9" housing ends on etc... so far all is good. 2 years of 9.70s-10.0s and lots of street miles.

curious to know what kind of 60' times you're pulling, and what axles, gear, etc that you have.

best 60 is 1.40 usually 1.43-1.45 moser 33 spline axles ( i think its 33...the biggest they offered for an 8.5) full spool 3.42 gears. It was a kit from moser that came with axles, spool, bearings, and 9" housing ends with gm bolt pattern.

I have the same rearend, but with c-clip elims and a 4.10 gear. I'm always gathering info...seeing how far people are able to push these things. thanks for the info!

No problem

I am looking for a rearend for my wagon. Just a driver, I can drive down there and buy your 8.5 when you want to sell it. I am in no hurry, if price is agreeable, will come get it. Thanks, Greg Downs. 580 318 1048.
