dana 60

hotrod68 said

I destroyed the 8 3/4 in my dart (car runs 10 teens) and of course it took out the bolt in sprag along with other damage. My question is I bought a dana 60 out of a 69 runner with 4.10 gears is it strong enough stock to run as is or does it need upgrading. Thanks for any info. I should ad its a small tire foot brake car best pass of 1.39 60 foot and 10.12 @132

You're lucky it didn't take out your right foot! I think your rear end will not be the weakest link any more.
I went through the same thing with my Duster bracket car in October, but got lucky and it didn't damage the tranny at all. Like you, I replaced with a Dana 60 and all is well now. The last time I took it to the track before they closed for the winter it was running .1 faster than normal in the 1/8th mile with the Dana, of course it was 58 degrees all day. I run about the same times as you....
