For 169.00 more you can get them to weld it on for you. 8448755-image.jpg (85 downloads) Brett Miller W9 cnc'd heads STR Chassis fabraction

It has a 30 spline carrier so I can slide my stock axles in after I change the housing ends. I might have $500-600 into it once I buy brakes and gaskets/lube/fittings. If someone doesn't have a welder and alignment bar then I guess there is $150 or so added to have someone do it. If I decide to upgrade to 35 spline I might spend another $600 for axles and a spool. Not saying everyone should go with a junkyard D60 but it's a decent option for street/strip cars.

Heck, I think I'll carry 2-3 to suit my needs. So for the initial investment of say roughly $1800 plus extra center sections ($3000) cause they're easy to swap I'll be all set, thanks. Doug

Hmmmm, 9" center section or complete Dana 60 rear? Decisions, decisions. Such a difficult decision! at your power level you could use a 7.25 Yea, those Mopar rears are pretty strong! Even the little ones. But I feel more comfortable with my 8 3/4" or a Dana 60. They look cool too! But the point is that the new $2,000 Dana 60s will handle just as much HP as your $2,000 center section PLUS the cost of the rest of the rear. ...and probably be faster due to efficiency.

Yep, you're right, proved your point. Every Mopar in the world should have a Dana. Thread closed, problem solved, nothing to see here people, move along........LOL!!!!

Ford 9" has it's place and obviously it's quite popular in SS and the factory race cars, among others, for many reasons. I'm just trying to take the edge off of Quicktree who thinks that EVERY BRAND of race car in the world should have a Ford 9", even the average bracket racer! LCOMOTION UICKTREE
