    The 8.5 was in a dissasembled 84 Hurst Olds. The whole car was $2500.

    So...you really had 3.73's in there??? I thought the rear came from a GN or T-type. Here I thought you only had 3.42's.

    Joe,

    We are talkin' about a rear other than mine. Mine was a 3.42, now a 3.90

    Ohh!! I thought the 442's came with 3.73's and only the GN's and T-types came with the 3.42's.
