Not sure what I got here. Looks like a Dana 44 or 60 from the removable back cover, but also has a removable third member like a 9" Ford.
Was told it was a Chrysler 8.75, but they didn't have a removable back cover, and Dana's don't have a removable third member as far as I know.
Anyone know what I have here?

I'll take some pics when I get a chance. The car is at MacLean's Performance and Glenn said he's never seen one like it before. I just figured it was a Dana, but then recently learned they don't have a removable third member, so I don't know what the heck it is. Hope I don't break anything and need parts!!

Where did you get it at? I remember seeing an 8 3/4 in a drag car in CB years ago where a dana cover was glued, welded, god knows what, to the back of the housing to make it look like a dana 60. Or possibly welded onto the back of the housing to use for gaining access to the center section... I never got a real close look at it.

It came from CB. What kind of car was the one you seen. Might possibly be the same car!

I did an 8 3/4 last year fot a 67 dart and the 742case actually has a bigger frt bearing than the 489case they both have the same rear bearing. the 489case has a collapsable spacer for preload and the742 uses shims for preload. 489 case is a little easier to come by.
