    Anyone here actually run a 440 with an 8-1/4" rear end?

    Howdy folks,

    Everything I have read says "don't expect it (it being the rear) to last long." but has anyone actually attempted to live with this combo?

    Sure....Lasted around 4 passes with a Nitroused 440 auto with 4500 Converter and DOT's....

    on the street, if you are just gonna cruise it, then it should THEORETICALLY live forever...


    However, NOBODY I know "Just cruises" all the time. Somewhere, sometime, you'll hammer that thing and it'll break at the worst time.
