the third gear is the weakest gear, in a four speed trans, i knew a racer did his burnouts in 3 rd gear, kept breaking 3rd gear. we used a 1600 # b&b/long pressure plate in 340 car, had no problems breaking gears , with a series 300 disc. used in drag car. just food for thought

you can run the B&B/long clutch from mcloed, at 1800 base with a rag disc will work very well. friend had a1600 base one in his 360, ran low 12 sec, wirth slicks

we ran 23 spline for yearss, had the 3.09 ist gear, in a race car,, 5.57 gears, 340, duster, only prob was, broke a few gears at times, as they were old, we put lots of runs on it, it was proshifted, gear set. ran a 1400 # clutch, then went to a soft loc style. with 1400 # ran a series 300...

first off, you have a very aggressive clutch, that will break parts, the 18 spline is stronger,, just food for thought

the 1967 to 1972 ford pickups used a dana 60 with passenger axles, 5 on 4 1/2 they are lighter, splines are 30, same as a 8 3/4 have to change front yoke to mopar style

did you set pinion depth with a gauge?

late 1965, they installed 8 3/4 in 65, a bodies, i have an original letter from NHRA /mopar, allowing the change. it was for 235/273 only . i installed a 1968 8 3/4 in my 65 dart,bolted right in.

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

look for a dana 60 out of a 1967 to 72 ford 1/2 ton pickup. it has passenger axles and brakes, it's way lighter . about same as a 8 3/4 .change ends to mopar and use your axles, both have 30 splines. just food for thought.

I wasn't meaning file across the teeth, just on the edge.

take a fine file and file across the edge of ring gear, if it digs in , it's a pro gear, means it's soft. street gear the file will sail across it , not dig in. do not use a grinder!!!

have a question, what weight flywheel are you running behind the 273? also type of clutch?

notice nitrous bottle in back, powerglide trans,

when I installed my pickup dana 60, under my A body, I used the stock 8 3/4 axles and brake setup. axles were made for a body, they fit great!! 1 3/4 brakes by 10". my after market axles were made with big bolt pattern.

Richmond gear, told us, never to run gears on stands, it causes hot spots on gears. they have to be run under load!!! the gears are slapping each other on free run like that. prob how the howl got started!! I hope your end play is about back lash?? should be at .010. this is ring gear lash.

hi, when I did my dana 60, I ran pipe through the dana then through the 8 3/4 empty pot. ran a long straight edge from flange of 8 3/4 back to dana, marked it, same with other side this gave me correct width and pinion off set. measured 8 3/4 bearing ends , subtracted , and cut dana tube off...

hi, if it's out of a ford pickup ,it's the lightest dana 60. the axle splines should be 30 spline , same as the 8 3/4 spline. I installed same rearend in my duster. it had 30 spline axles, I used my 8 3/4 axles and ends welded on. the tubes are 3" same as mopar. as for weight , it was 32 #...

hi, yes they are the same. is it one from a 1/2 ton ford ? 8 3/4 ends will fit up to tubes. we used a dana 60 from 1/2 ton ford, changed the yoke to a 1350, put 8 3/4 ends on it.

hi, 72 340 duster with 4 speed trans, 9x 30 slicks, 5.57 gears, 7300 in traps. just food for thought

hi flywheel torque is 55 ft/lbs. mopar calls for 55 ft/lbs. just foodfor thought.

hi, unless my math is wrong? 3.185 should be more than 3.125. if your measuring from the center, 3.185 is farther away than 3.125. the smaller number should mean your closer to center line. 3.185 is deeper pinion depth from center. try adding shims to pinion, and see what you get. I went and...

hi, I read all these comments on light versus heavy wheels. I run a a stocker 340 duster with a mcloed alum flywheel and a soft loc clutch. I have ran the mcloed l/w steel wheel, (18#) also. the difference from a heavy (30# )wheel to 11# alum wheel is .2 tenths and 2 mph faster. the heavy wheel...

hi, I cut ends off, welded mopar 8 3/4 ends on and shorten same width as my 8 3/4. I had a 35 spline spool and used my brakes and axles. shorten drive shaft about 3/4 inch. I also changed to a 1350 yoke on front. just food for thought

hi, they are a regular passenger style axle. no floaters. the spline is a 30 , same as a 8 3/4 mopar. in fact, the axle will fit on a side gear in a 8 3/4 rear. they are the lightest dana 60, weighs about 35# over the 8 3/4 rear end. they are just as stout as any other dana 60. the bolt...
