9" was available for a while on a few selected vehicles. It also happen to be a common swap.

Well Actully DJ300 even states he is running an 8.8 "I'm running 8.8/3.08 L diff."

I've heard so many different things about the changes between the 80s years.
82 was the last year of the 351M400 motor,
86 is supposed to be the first year the 8.8 was brought in along with the Borg Warner t case, but both have been seen in earlier years.
I've heard 81 was the first year of the 8.8, I'm not 100% sure about any of these, but here are some numbers that people have argued over before.
