Dana 60 S60 or Ford 9"
I have been doing some re-evaluating of my chassis build, I probably won't go to the extreme of building an actual SS/AH chassis due to 2 reasons, 1: its extremely expensive to build that chassis, 2: I wont ever run that class so I think its over kill to build the car to those specs.
I'd like to race Nostalgia Super Stock, which across the board the biggest tire I can run I believe is either 31x10.5, or 33x10.5. I have read and seen a lot of guys turn mid 8s on a 10.5w tire. From what I understand, building a NSS back half is not quite as involved as an AH car and I believe will be more suitable for me. I still want to 4-link, anti-roll, wishbone etc in the car, it just wont be as extreme as AH. So I reckon I will be doing a lot more foot braking versus using a transbrake, I would only use a transbrake when I race on off weekends at a local track.
With that in mind, I believe a S60 Dana 60 would still be a great rear end for what I am doing, it would be more "correct" for a Mopar. Ill be running an automatic transmission, that'll be easier on a rear end than a 4 speed for sure. I'd like to run a 4 speed jerico or liberty, but apparently the clutch maintenance and rear end maintenance damn near triples from if I ran just an automatic.
