Well now it’s settled.

You need to get the 8.5 since it matches your new TA Performance cover.

The 8.5 is more than plenty strong enough for what you’re doing with your car.

I think so too. I'm going to be patient and see if I can find an 8.5 core locally to build up. Maybe hit up a few swap meets in the Spring and see what's out there.

Anyone know the difference in driveshaft length between an 8.5 and an 8.2?
