Your stock axel is a 7 1/4?I have an 8 3/4 narrowed in my 66 Dart no problem.Will a narrowed Dana 60 fit in an early a body? The fuel tanks looks very close to the stock axle in my 64 Barracuda. Thanks.
Yes, the factory axle is a 7 1/4. I was on the Moser sight pricing out an 8 3/4 replacement. The price of a Dana 60 from Strange or Moser is about the same price of the 8 3/4.
I am going to put a mild 408 stroker in the car and will not need the added strength of a Dana...but if they are almost the same price I am tempted.
Go with the 8 3/4 it will handle anything you throw at it with the right parts. Plus it's a hole lot lighter than the dana.
Sharko, that is a good looking rear end....that sounded wrong...
I want to keep the factory fuel tank. Have you installed your Dana in your 65 and does it clear the fuel tank?
Thanks![/QUOTE
Yes the D60 will fit with the original gas tank. And yes I agree that if you plan on changing gears alot go with a 8-3/4 rear end. But if you plan on runnig the same gears most of the time or all the time, D60 all the way.
The D60 is hands down a much better rear end.
Make that, Anything can fit with enough $ Money.Anything can fit with enough force behind it
