Last I checked there are no "free" a body danas around. But by all means if any Mopar purist wants to give me a a-body Dana 60 for free I will gladly take it. Lol I would need to figure out how to brace it or I would just bend it. I keep bending the axle in the car.
At my power level I would need all aftermarket parts in a Dana so why not go with a lighter rear and make my car faster? Isn't this what we are looking for? To maximize the performance of our cars. I run 10 inch rims with a 275/60 radial and leaf springs so my axle is 46 inches wide. I have torn off leaf spring mounts also and have them boxed in now.
My car is also street legal and is driven on the street, exactly as it is driven on the track.
This is the info I'm looking for.
Can I ask what is in your rear to make things work!
I mean housing, what kind, where you got it and centre section. Thx Matt
I still have a 8 3/4 rear in my car. I have put it on the jig twice now to straighten it out, I am sure it needs to be done again. I have mark Williams caps on a factory 489 case. I run a light weight moser 35 spline spool and moser gun drilled and star flanged axles. I have a billet mark Williams 1350 yoke on it. It currently has us gears in it. I have broken gears, sheared all the ring gear bolts off, bent the axle, but all of that has been over the 15 yrs I have raced my car. I need to put a nine inch in my car, but I keep spending money else where, like fixing the damage from the wheelie. Someday it will have a moser chromoly nine housing with aluminum center section in it, and I won't have to say a prayer every time I hit the burnout box asking for just one more pass!
