I was told that it was 3.55's in there now but I question that . . . also have a gear setup for 4.11's on the shelf.  I would include that as well.  Not sure what it is worth, will have to ask to get a fair price.   :thinking:
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

Dumb question but why sell it ??

Because I want to drive the hardtop on the highway more . . Current configuration makes it not that enjoyable . . I have a 8 3/4 now with a 3.23 in the garage that I want to install.  For me, drive ability is what I want . . . If I want to drive to a show 3 hours away . . I want to be able too. Convertible is fine for that but sometimes, I want to take the hardtop.  Some have suggested an over drive or a after market 5 or 6 speed.  I bought the hemi 18 spline not that long ago and hate to part with it . . I think  3.23 8 3/4 would suit the stroker motor just fine.

So no sense keeping the Dana when it will probably pay for it all?  Plus maybe help someone with a B Body wanting an original Dana? 

Thoughts?   :thinking:
You have a killer engine coupled with a 4 spd, I would swap to an OD trans either factory 833 or Passon hemi 4 spd with OD & keep the Dana , I built a Dana for my car with 3.54 gears & use the OD

I just bought the 18 spline from Brewers and of course paid top dollar . . .  :drunk:

I too would vote for the OD 4 speed and keeping the Dana, but I can understand your dilemma. While I was at Hot Rods Drag Week I snapped this picture of a guy that wished he had a Dana.... :Stirring:
What could you sell the new 4 sped for? ... or trade it in where you bought it?

I have broken too many 8 3/4 diffs ,& I am well aware of the engine you have , no way would I trade out the Dana

I have to agree: I would strongly consider swapping to the Passon OD4, after you sell your current 18 spline it will be much cheaper than the other way around. Even your clutch will work.
