posibly currie. I dont know about you but i dont like the look of the tabs they use there just a single piece of sheet metal granted its thick and probably plenty strong but it would just make me crazy thinking its too weak. i would make a bracket that holds the bushing or bolt in double shear.

The Currie "9" bolt in rear end is very strong. One has been in my sons Chevelle "as is" for 10+ years with the standard "31" spline axles. We added a steel spool about 7 years ago and have never broken anything. 540 Big Block, Turbo 350, 4.11 gears, best E.T. (9.56 @ 140.27 MPH) on the motor, with the Currie Rear End.

Morrison makes a good adjustable set of weld on ears with about four or five mounting locations which take their adjustable upper control arms. This is good for the adjustable feature.

I am using an adjustable control arms with the 8.2 rearend but they need one side ,the rearend side with the bushings web page (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33583&item=2476314473)
THE plates Morrison makes will not fit ,I need the ones that I can still put the bushings onthe upper rearend ears
