Dana 60 information or identification - 01/06/22 08:22 PM
Started working on the Dana 60 out of a friends Cuda that could be the original but not sure. It is E Body length. We look at the internals about a year ago and it has a Power Lok and 538s. Car was run in Pro Stock in 1972 and in Altered after that. Cuda should of come with a Dana from the factory being an Original Hemi E Body. What we are trying to figure out is if it was the original to the car or swapped in during its racing Career. So here are the numbers on the right axle tub and we are trying to find the internal pictures for more casting number information.
Dates 6 19 0A2 , 7 16 0 78. BOM 603226-4. My understanding is the first two dates are like casting and assembly dates. The BO number tell me it is a E Body 410 from the factory. Now being such a late build in 1970 did Chrysler use up late built Danas in 1971. The Cuda has an SPD in April, I think 406 to 409 or very close to that so would this Dana sit around for 9 months then put in the Cuda. I know this were getting tight with builds in 1971 so maybe this Dana Rear End is original or maybe not. Going to take it completely apart and add axle, spool, another gear and lot more go fast stuff.
Any opinions just start typing.
