Dana 60 vs Ford 9 inch
I'm lookig for a rearend for my "70 Barracuda project and need some guidance. I've never ordered a custom rearend before, so I'm not sure of all my options and pro/con of each.
The car will be a Pro-touring style 99% street driven car. The motor will be a Procharged 5.7 modern HEMI with a TKO600 trans. (somewehere in the 700 HP and 700 TQ range) The car will be all custom (i.e not a factory restored car). I'm debating going with a Dana 60 (because it kind of goes with the whole Mopar thing) vs a Ford 9 inch (because there are more options and parts available etc). The weight of the Dana 60 also concerns me.
What I'm looking for is something in the 3.55-3.73 gear range, with a posi unit (I'd like some guidance on that too since I'm alittle confused over the difference between a TrueTrac vs Trac loc vs Eaton etc etc). I want it bare (no powedercoating or paint etc) and without the perches welded on yet ( I may move my spring inboard). An aluminum center section is a possibillity if I can fit it in my budget. My budget complete is around $2k, plus or minus.
I've sent emails to Strange, Moser and Currie, so we'll see what they have to say too...
