Dana 60 with upgraded slant six
All great points. Especially the gentleman who reminded me that a heavier diff requires more stopping power. The car is already limited in that area with the 9" drums up front. And I have to realize that this is a great around town car and to just enjoy what it is. I mean who wouldn't want a 225 slant 2 door with a 4 speed? Still , I will swap out the rear with something. Most likely 1 step up from a 7 1/4.
The car has had work done to it. I believe in 2003. I say this because the S/Warner tach was not working. So I removed it and saw a date stamp of 2003 on it. So I did get the tach working. But , whoever rebuilt the car did a fantastic job. All S/W gauges/ painted dash matches the entire color scheme of the car. Looks brand new.
They even painted under the car. They even painted the wheels. Doors, you name it, its been done. They installed a clifford intake,edelbrock 4b, headers, electric fuel pump, mini starter, 4 speed, the interior is super clean/headiner perfect,etc. I wish I knew the person who did this. Could be someone who is a member of this forum!!
