New Dana 60 Help please

By the time you set this rear up to fit your Duster, with the time & money you will spend, it will be cheaper to buy a brand new unit, ready to bolt in Dana 60 OR 8 3/4" rear with what ratio you want & a Sure Grip unit right from Strange Engineering or Moser. I did. With Wilwood disc brakes & all. It was under $2000 delivered. It would probably be worth it for you in the long run.

I've gotta disagree with this. He's got a 4.10 gear in the thing, which may be what he wants. By the time he buys a powerlock (or whatever carrier he wants), bearings, housing ends, perches, yoke, etc. he's still way lower than the cost of a new S60. Plus, he'll have a new skillset and may have a little fun in the process. Some folks don't factor in the cost of their time building these cars because it's an enjoyable hobby and the building process is just as rewarding as driving the end product.
