All the info given here is correct for the most part but I’ll just share my personal experience with the 8 ¾ in my Sport Fury. The 42 housing is the one to use and Spicer joints are a must. Each time I pull the driveshaft I use new straps on the larger of the factory yokes. In my low budget old school stocker I typically ran about 3520 in weight with times in the 10.70-10.90 range and currently have over 360 runs on the Richmond 4.57 set that’s in the car now. Your car will be a little lighter than that in G and being a budget car you might be in the mid 11s on a 12.0 index. The Richmond gears will crack in time because they’re a little too hard for racing.
