It's a Ford corporate 9.75" not same as a Dana 60. Dana 60 has 10 cover bolts, corporate has 12.

No reason to even look at it unless you're fooling around with a later model Ford truck. Plenty of other better choices.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Looks like nothing. Housings are supposed to be weak. Look like they are stupid heavy. Randy's shows some gear sets for it up to 5.13. The only yoke is a flange type. Axles are some queer 34 spline deal. No spools. Looks like parts are mostly year specific. With D60s and 9"s supported by the aftermarket, why even consider it?

Since some version of the F-9" is used on big tire pro mod cars, what's the advantage to more weight, more power lost, and all new parts?

It's not a 70 or an 80. It's a Sterling and it's a smaller version of their 10.5 used in full size trucks. And it's basically useless if you don't have a Ford truck. If you get beyond what a good 9" can withstand, then there are options beyond that from Strange, MW and others.
