Re: 66 Question plz help !

["Ben Jr. Morgan" <polara_hotrods@xxxxxxx>]

the old 8 3/4 742s with tapered axles were used behind the maxwedge stockers with not a problem. I'm not worried about mine, and if all your doing is cruising and drag racing, and not the every day commute or road racing, I wouldn't worry too much about the brakes either.

  1) the 8 3/4 will be fine unless you have a blower on that 413 and pushing 8-900 hp, you didn't mention ;-).  Others mentioned 489, 742 and 741 chunks and the 741 is the weekest, but the 8 3/4 can be reinforced and become a darn near Dana 60 Strong.

  2 - 3) I went both routes here.  Front End Rebuild kit from Performance Suspension Components and junk yard scrounge for the 73-76 A
  body spindles and followed the information from the Rick Ehrenberg's tech.  On the front end I cleaned all the parts and painted myself (Control Arms, tie rods, spindles, etc...), but had to take certain things into a brake shop to get bushings pressed in or the what not, but it only cost me a 12 pac.  I have yet to tackle the rear end, so I have no info for springs...

  Good luck and let us know what you ended up doing.
