Application, application, application, it all depends on the application. The Dana in my Dart is all I'll ever need. Complete minus brakes it was $1950 shipped from Strange. A CM housing with no ends is over $1200.



I agree ,
But,, I'm not a fan of running 9" Ford's over the 8 3/4 wr have ran deep in the 9 s with basic stock gears in an 83/4 with no issue's. But some.have I'm sure it has to do with leaving at such high rpm s something going to break!
A Dana maybe heavier but it is.not robbing as.much hp as those.of the 9" and 8 3/4 do so even tho you change to it most cars do not lose et. Some may gain .
