excuse my ignorance but is that a dana 60 or a ford 9inch? looks badass though

[squee]

S60 I believe. Ford 9" doesn't have a rear end cover, it has a removable chuck that comes out the front.

What made you go with a Dana instead of a 9"?

Yes, its Strange's dana 60. Thanks!

I read the article in gmhtp and they put one in the 1-sc-ya camaro and it looked like a pretty complete system and it was cheaper than their 12 bolt and with that bigass ring gear and 35 splined axles I figured I would'nt ever have to worry about the rearend again. The 9" is a good rearend I just decided to go with the 60. Personal preference I guess.

The Dana's definately beefy enough. And if it costs less than the 9", why not.

I doubt it would cost less than a 9". A beefy 9" with 31 spline axles and a positrac can he had for ~$1500.

I priced them both out and ended up going with the 9" it was about $400 cheaper. I to got 35 splined axles and went with a Detroit locker. Also I didn't want to deal with the driveshaft at the time, But since then I did buy a Strange Drive shaft.

In either case, They are both nice rear-ends and you'll be happy once you get some slicks and hit the track!!!

Like to see where you can get one for that price. Maybe with a used stock thirdmember. But if you get a good quality piece you are looking at least $2200.

I went 9", but I've hear lots good about that setup also. Good luck on your build. That's a mean looking cover.

I've found 9" QP housings with brackets, axles, etc. for $800, and then rebuild pumpkins with your choice of gears (brand new gears and all) for $500.
