why a Ford 9"?

I watched a dana 60 pinion shaft get sheared in half from a mild 400 big block ford by simply pepping the gas pedal to the floor for a split second on dry pavement!.

strong rear end YES....most of the time.

they all ahve there weak points and strong points....it boils down to who can get what and if they want to stay original and what they want to spend.
