My mate's 742 with 4.10s and a spool. BOOM! Anyone got any soft Pro gears about 3.91s (soften the launch!) or are these unavailable. I've only found 4.86s in "Pro" style at Randy's Ring and Pinion. Any other leads. Very urgent.....

Geezer needs 'em next Tuesday
Didn't know if anyone had any knocking around as they are unsuitable for street use. If you could get a quote on 3.91 Pro gears for 742 that would be great. I think if he wants to get out quick he'll have to have street gears.

Might also be time to look at a 489 at the very least

Aha! The ol' 742 Vs. 489 debate! 742; Stronger case, smaller pinion. 489; Weaker case, bigger pinion. Will sir be requiring a new set of gears, or a new housing? Over the years of debate on Moparts I think they are both equal in terms of strength. Swings and Roundabouts. Prepare for the flak! The axle is living (Dying?) behind this;

It's a 350ci small block chevy. It's supercharged, fuel injected and runs on 85% Nitromethane.

Would that be Mister Mental perchance?
Tell him to squeeze a tube of Signal into the axle next time, that's supposed to be good for strong, healthy teeth

I would have thought Dentu-grip would have been better for keeping his teeth in place Ivor

I wonder which bit went first the pinion or the teeth, bit like the chicken and the egg deal... probably the teeth

He said it was making a bit of a whirring sound getting worse each time he was being towed back to the pits but sounded alright up on the jacks.

I've seen the MP case blue but I don't think it was that one I was thinking about.
I'm 90% sure i've read on the internet somewhere about a real strong ally case, can't remember where though.
As you say probably wouldn't stand up to that anyway
