I've been thinking about Duster/Dart snorkel scoop actually. Want to keep it as original as possible though... So I take it I need to be careful getting my Duster anywhere near you with a plasma cutter or an oxy? :bats:

Hey Mate, quick question as well. I've got Sure Grip Centre I want to get put into the car. My diff is an 8.25 10 Bolt Chrysler and I've had new 3.55:1 gears put in and all new bearings etc.. Just need to get the Sure Grip put in. Can you recommend anyone to install and set backlash??

I use Sydney Competition Warehouse, ph: 9891 5088. Talk to James, he has done a few Mopar diffs for us, his work is excellent and cheap.
It should be an 8.75 not an 8.25. If it is then you can just pull the axles out and pop the whole center out like a Ford 9 inch.
I am happy to do it for you if you do not want to get dirty. :rub:

Cheers, Chris.

Hey Chris, nah, it's an 8 1/4.. Some of the small block Duster's and Dart's had 7 1/4 and 8 1/4 differentials. The 8.25 as my Duster has is a pretty decent diff and can take a bit of punishment...

It's been about a year since I pulled the small block out of it... Haven't driven it really since as engine took a fair while to be done and then had to accumulate parts and all the business trips and house move in between... Been hectic!

Not even the wheel bolt pattern is the same as Chevy - in full size cars.

Whereas, Mustangs are actually Ford Falcons under the skin.

BTW, if you're out at a car run one night and you're a bit bored, get the party started by telling a Cadillac guy that his car is just the same as a Chevy.:lol:
