Cant find a 8 3/4 rear close by but I did find a DANA s60 out of a 1995 dodge 2500. Any thoughts on using that rear ? Of coarse ill have to narrow it. Ill call DOC DIFF to see If he has axles & any other parts ill need.
yea but cant find an 8 3/4 close & at a good price this dana is $200 not going to be raced just a street car with a 408Heavy! Maybe a little overkill
Heavy! Maybe a little overkill
Man all this talk about rear ends , what about an 8.8 out of an explorer,31 spline axles most 373 only half to narrow one side and its disc brakes ?
Bah humbug!
There is no such thing as overkill, just reload and keep firing. Nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only way to be sure. Or, nuke them till they glow and shoot them in the dark.
The S60 I got from Cass was only a few pounds heavier than the 8 3/4, which he was out of stock at the time. I did want the 8 3/4 for easier gear changes. But the Barracuda isn't my DD, so 4.10 is fine with me.
Well you'll have a rear diff that will live a long lifeyea but cant find an 8 3/4 close & at a good price this dana is $200 not going to be raced just a street car with a 408
There's alot of Dana 60s out there. Don't give up on your dreams brotgerwell forget that idea lol its gone
What years ?the dana 60 from 1/2 ton fords were made same as a passenger car, no floating axles. change to 8 3/4 ends and use your axles, 30 spline
I concur but 5000$ Canadian, is tough to take basically the price you see on a website,just double it and that’s what us canucks payI thought this thread was about S60 rear ends which is the Strange 60? I highly recommend them if you can afford one. Nothing cooler than this cover peeking out from underneath your gas tank.
