12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

I personally think Danas are too big for A-bodies. I think they create interference problems with exhaust and you won't be making enough HP to justify having such a large rear end. I know you have a budget mind like me and the thought of paying for a complete A-body 8-3/4 or Dana pains me.

If I went Dana, I would get my buddy to build me one like he built for his car. Used Ford(?) Dana 60, 8.75" axle ends and custom axles. I think he said he had $500 or something in it. :)

Might look into the 8.8 more since it could be had with tone rings on the axles. No idea if I could/would ever get to the point of messing with traction control or maybe even ABS, but might make it easier if so.
