Cause then I still have an 8.75, I don't want to worry with the 4 speed and sticky slicks or drag radials if I ever drag race the car. Buy once cry once...

If I had the skills and equipment and time I would go the home brew/junkyard route and by the time I paid someone to do it right I am back at the cost of a brand new improved Dana.

I would never put a Ford diff in my Mopar, sorry...might be stupid and bullheaded but my Mopars will stay all Mopar or at least oem style rear..

I appreciate all the input so far, thanks everyone!
