If it was a narrowed dana with lots of goodies and you had a use for it. Then I'd say yes. But trading a good stock dana (provided it's a factory muscle car dana and not a truck) for a narrowed one is not worth it. dc

Did the company that respline the axles reheat treat them? If not you should pull both of them out and look very closely at the splines to see if their twisted yet or not resplining axles in a race car is a big NO NO usually because of the lack of heat treating them after resplining them by most shops, I hope that makes sense Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
