Why not save 60 lbs of unsprung weight and fun a 8 3/4? You aren't gonna bust one up with poly tires.Just puttin it out there. 
because it's a 4spd and 440-6, and 600hp on a 3500+loaded car dosen't mean much of a survival rate.

Just better off buying one from Strange, or DTS, instead of playing with truck units, or used 
He's trying to make it look more original, and has been told those aftermarket housing don't llok original. The older truck housing look more correct since they were made around the same time, so he figured it would be easier and cheaper to go that route. Plus he could have it modified so it would look stock, and have his little cheats hidden away.

The housings from the aftermarket using the S-60 housings don't look correct because they are TRUCK HOUSINGS,.......the S-60 aftermarkets housings were "affordable" Dana units for people wanting dana's,.....you can specify anything you want, DTS are perhaps the best units out there, IMHO,.....you can spend as little as $1750-$3000 depending on what you want, for about $2K you can have a factory looking Dana 60, up to 4:10 for that price, pinion snubber, axle perches attached, painted, ready for install,.....extras are brakes/disks/powder coating,etc, etc

I bought one from Dr. Diff and it was a bolt in ready to go for my 71 Hemi Cuda Rag Clone. Shipped right to my door. Brakes were done as well. 
Reid,....if you don't mind me asking, what was the $$ outlay for Dr Diff's?,...was it a Strange Dana60,....pinion snubber as original, and what gear?....and brakes?
Thanks
Mike
