This! I am also building a e body, super stock instead of stock. I would not waste my time with the 8&3/4 when you break one and you will, You will be into the trans & converter also. So money well spent ahead of time. I have a strange s-60 in mine, Do a cost estimate on both of them, The dana is Prob around $1800 You will be into the 8&3/4 for around $800 or so.But the first time you break it you will be upside down in the deal. Big question for the 8&3/4 is what race weight are you going to be?

Listen to this advice!!! He and all the rest above him are trying to save you some money and a lot of hard work... Unless you like repairing broken rear ends, trannys and converters....
