Here is a picture of the copy of the letter that NHRA sent out on the 8 3/4 rear. The actual reason that the factory started putting the 8 3/4 in the 65s is that owners of the 4 speed cars were destroying the 7 1/4 rears. Ma Mopar got tired of replacing the weaker rear under warrenty. Not all the 4 barrel 273 cars got the 8 3/4, only the 4 speed cars.
