I had bought a 1969 Dana 60, but by the time I switch over stuff to how I want it, I would have been spending a lot more on the old Dana than a brand new unit. It was marked from the favored as 3.54s but ended up being 410s. I went with 373's in the new unit. Just gotta detail my springs andn switch out the old setup.a new driveshaft will help with the changeover fro23 to18 spline transmission. The The Thanks Dr. Diff!!! Will be ordering a disc brake kit from him soon also. Last edited by 68KillerBee; 01/31/15 01:16 PM.

X2 I haven't had a chance to beat on mine yet, but it bolted right in using the specs that I gave Cass. It has been trouble free for 500 miles now. Which reminds me I need to get the break in oil out of there. I'll be getting my 408 in front of it this summer and can't wait! 1970 Duster 340 clone

I'm all ears. who cares the guy asked for a rear for a 1200hp drag car. and it can be done cheap for a street strip. just as easy as a dana.

Strange was out of the gears I ordered and as soon as he found out I received a phone call. Awesome customer service. When I built my dragster years ago. I used Moser. They are/were great to work with also. I have no complaints. I went with the good Dr. Because he had the best price and shipping. Just my Hope this helps, Digger73 (Mike) I live with fear everyday but, sometimes she lets me race!

COMPLETE 35 spline S-60 assembly with S-Trac differential $2245 Aluminum S-9" third-member ONLY with 28 spline street gears, and 35 spline S-Trac differential $2000 A 9" third-member does not surpass the strength of a Dana 60 assembly until you upgrade it to a drag race only 35 spline 9.5" gearset ($$).
