I sold the rear end and new axles for $750 I sold another diff that I had laying around for $400 and my company profit sharing kicked in $500!! I'll have to make up the difference out of pocket.
I guess I like the shock and awe look of a Dana in an A body, but it will definitely be overkill for my application. Although a little extra weight on the rear will probably be a good thing. I don't plan on swapping gears a bunch. Probably run 3.55ish and stay there. I hope to install it, and forget about it.
My rear end is in the stock location, but I have seen people move the rear back for tire clearance and to center the wheel in the housing. I am going to run a 28 inch tires so I don't think I'll hit the front edge. I don't know how much thicker a Dana housing is compared to a 8 3/4. There didn't seem to a lot of room between the old housing and the gas tank.
