Don't want anyone to show up and have a problem. This is for Stock Eliminator. From your roving reporter.
For the super brave I have a NOS in the box sure-grip for the 8 1/4...I wouldn't do it but you could....the 9 1/4 will not work due to lack of Spool and gear choices.....but you could run it with a sure grip, I run a nice detroit locker in the Lil Red this way.

8.75 and dana 60 are your logical choices, more gear choices for the dana 60 and of course it will live behind any of the DP motors, whether or not you gain any ET with a 8.75 is a consideration, as is your tranny if the ring and pinion goes.
