Dana 60 vs Ford 9"

I plan to run a 9" in the rear of my 73 dart sport...

trust me I am a person who says to keep something as original as possible, but when it comes down to it you have to run what is cost effective and gets the job done.

I am kind of wondering why you say all factory 9" stuff is junk? yeah if you get a "WAR" case with small bearings and 28 spline axles you are stuck with junk. but to say a "N" or a "C7AW" case is weak is just not correct. I plan to run a "N" case with big bearing axles and 31 spline axles that ALL were factory in the ford 9" they even come with big drums.

also when you look at the after market the 9" is large. also on the note of it is expencive to build a 9" you are wrong. like above if you know what to look for in the factory stuff you can put together a solid rear that will handle a SB no problem.

I am buliding a 71 early bronco big bearing housing that was free. it came out of my 71 and got replaced with a full width rear that was the same things just wider. I have been given several 9" just to get them out of peoples way, so to say that the 9" is an expencive option is just dead wrong...
