My Capri has that stupid old 7.5 rearend in it. And we all know they are weak. So why is it that there are so many aftermarket kits and parts for the damn thing? Frankly i just want to see if mine will shoot the pinnion out the tail end before i go to an 8.8. Thoughts anybody?

Come on,' bite the bullet', bust on down to a 'pull-a-part type junkyard and get a 8.8"
Costs some $$ for a decent build but it'll be worth it.
