the 8" to 10 bold durability comparison depends on the 10 bolt(theres a few kinds out there) and how each are built.
and is it just me or are you mistaking the 8" for 8.8" or vise versa...
thomas said:Nailbomb, I must be honest with you, I do not know the difference between a 8" and a 8.8" rearend. I believe I chose that 8.8 over the 10 bolt because you recommened it. I've also heard from others that it is a good rearend. I must tell you that it's guys like you, Mike, Fred and Rick that are going to be my teachers. I no nothing except how to fish.

Thats just crazy, 1/8" in machining is WAAAAy too much slack, maybe its not the same, but can you imagine 1/8" gap on your piston to wall clearance?Webmaster said:Apparently they figure an 1/8" is nothing amongst friends?
