Small block strokers

Ya, I realize that the Dana was going overboard, but it was my cheapest route to a 4.10 posi to replace my noisy 7&1/4. - Plus it gets the car a little closer to resembling a factory Hemi Barracuda. My first choice would have been an 8&3/4 but I didn't want to spend what people were asking for them. Most that I'd found were either single tracs, needing rebuilt, needing narrowed, or a gear change. The Dana cost me $300 before I had it narrowed and disc brakes added. I figured I'd have spent more on an 8&3/4 to start with and still had the same expenses narrowing it and changing brakes. - Plus I would most likely have had to shell out for gears.

The extra horses it takes to drive that Dana shouldn't kill it for the street.

Very good point about A-body 8 3/4 rear end pricing. Sellers are pricing those to the point where brand new large bolt Dana rears are near viable options.

Sure the Dana is overkill. But by the time you add all the goodies to a core A-body 8 3/4 the initial core price can kill you.
