Help need info

I am looking to do a rear end swap in my 65 Dart. Can anyone tell me the width of an early 70s Maverick Grabber rear. Thanks

 

We have a 65 dart and a 64 valiant vert. Why not use a mopar 8 3/4 rear end on your dart? It should be a straight up swap, and those are great rears.

 

Hell if your going to go through the trouble, why not use a 9 inch and be miles ahead?

 

"8 3/4 is the way to go, better and lighter than a 9 inch, heck ive got some gears for an 8 3/4 whatcha looking to run?

 

A maverick rear is 56 1/4" mounting surface to mounting surface.

 

Hey guys...why don't we move this thread over to the "Dart Forum"

By the way, since we are talking about Dodges...What the heck does MOPAR mean...is it an acronym for something?

I have always wondered that

 

MO-motor PAR-Parts, at least thats what I've been told

 

Interesting...I would have guessed something way more intricate. Michigan Organization of Performance and Automotive Racing or something like that.

Actually, I think the last one could be said for my Maverick to.

 

And Frank.

 

Apreciate the measurement. The reason I dont use an 8 3/4 is they are hard to find in the A-body format, and when you do find one it is upwards of $600 with a sure grip. I was told that a Maverick or Granada rear would work and would be cheap. I found a Maverick Grabber locally for $200. Just wanted to know the measurement before I forked over the cash. I will probably sell the rest of the car or maybe part it out. Thanks

 

what year grabber? can probably double your money back on the hood alone if its the right one.

 

$600 for a bolt in rear with a sure grip isn't a bad deal when you figure that you will spend $400 for a traction lok or auburn
