    Or www.mopowerstyle.com



    You will need the larger driveshaft yolk for an 8-3/4", plus new, larger U-bolts to attach it to the springs, in case you may not know.



    Be prepared to pay $$$ when you find one.

    If you haven't found one yet you may want to check out car shows/swap meets in your area.



    I recently bought an 8 3/4 with 323 gears at Carlisle's annual Chrysler show for my '72 Dart. It cost me $475 for axles and U-bolts and all. Last year these we so hard to find and when we did see them they were asking $1000. Maybe the downturn in the economy brought the prices down.:confused:



    Good luck!
