This topic comes up more than round wins in a racing season. Bullet proof Dana 60 is the ONLY way to go when racing a 65 nss car..

Otherwise a Dana wins hands down and would be my pick for your combo without hesitation, just be sure to get the gearing right the first time

A 8-3/4 will take a bunch of power, but if you are racing it often (and hooking) it will eventually break. I wouldn't jump on the Dana "bandwagon" w/o really taking a look at what you WILL be doing with the car. My car may see some track time as well, and has some pretty good power, but it sure isn't going to be often enough to worry about the 8-3/4 breaking, or spending the cash on a Dana. 1967 Satellite, CNC Eddy Headed 500ci Street Mauler (Dyno'ed @ 600 HP / 650 ft-lbs) 2016 Challenger Hellcat - Holy Hell 2012 Hemi Ram Sport Crew Cab 2011 Avenger, Pentastar V-6 2007 SRT-8 Charger (Dyno'ed @ 470 RWHP) 1986 Caravelle, 318, aka "Rosco", Back Road Burner!
