Do not rebuild it.
Find an 8.25 in a Junk yard and never look back.
As long as you find one with the same gear ratio it will be a direct bolt in.

So the Chrysler is the way to go i was thinking the 44 but tire size will never be greater than 32 11.5 now it would cost me bout 120 to rebuild are 8.25s out there for round that priceOriginally Posted by lowrange2

Yes. Check craigslist for vehicles being parted out, call around to your local JY's. You should be able to find a 29 spline for under $200. The factory limited slip option on some 8.25's really isn't bad either.Originally Posted by xj81

Ok sweet working on a 8.25 deal as we speak thanksOriginally Posted by sthon
Perches are the same. Only thing you'll need is new u-bolts with 3" diameter.
Lol death of a 35 si i destroyed my dana 35 after ordering the rebuild so im gonna sell that anyway im gonna do the 8.25 29 spline swap.i have a few questions i have the factory tow package wit 3.73 gears are there any 8.25s with those gears also i wanna reuse my 35 drive shaft i have 4.5 lift so with the longer pinion on the 8.25 i should be close to the factory location in regards to the slip yoke and the tail shft Location because of the lift doesthis make senses to anyone
