Re: 8 3/4 rear diff. vendor.

[Gary Pavlovich <glpavlovich@xxxxxxx>]

Steve,

Glad the expectations were exceeded; seldom happens.

Yes, the 742 cases seem to be the case of choice for a couple reasons...and 
the 3.55 ratio is reputed to be a surprsingly good 1/4 mile gear as well as 
a nice street gear; best of both worlds.
I have third member overload right now and should probably sell my 742 case 
3.23 third member to thin the herd.  The 3.23 gear is not made anymore and I 
thought it to be an excellent gear, especially for the open road and yet it 
was still considered a "Performance" gear ratio by Mopar.  I am running the 
3.91 in my 340 car and the 3.73 ratio in my Stroker Poly vehicle.

Well, checking out for the night.

Enjoy the ride!
Gary Pavlovich
