all the parts are the same except the side of the housing is machined out 1/4 or so to allow easy fit of the large pinon other wise carier, gear, brgs. all interchange but if you want to run much more than a 4.10 you will need spacers with the thick thick gears

Likely be the same $ for say a 742? And if bought in multiples cost be much better per pair? Sounds like the start of a group buy to me.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

It is impossible to make a ratio that high for a stock Dana 60 housing/carrier.
Cass can the stock Dana 60 hsg be machined so it would work? Jim

Thank all of of you for your replies. Since this build is a diesel and is being setup for 1/4 mile racing. The RPM limit on the engine is 4500. The trans will be a turbo 400 built by Neal Chance. According to the Wallace cal. A 2.86 would do the job. But if you allow a little for converter slip it needs to be a little taller. Jim
taller tire.

When looking in a salvage yard what vehicle and year would have the Dana 61 with 3.07 ?
A Dodge/Cummins truck with a 3sp torqueflite is probably the easiest place to find them. '89 through 91.5 model years I believe. Non intercooled trucks. Anything with an OD was 3.54 or steeper.

Interesting about the Cummins 4 cyl diesels in the bread delivery trucks with GM automatics. Would that same bell housing made for the Turbo 400 allow you to use a 4 cylinder Cummins with one of the new GM 6T70 six speed automatics ? http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2005/08/25/141299.html
