Dana 60 on Ebay
« on: March 05, 2010 - 12:14:04 AM »
Has anyone bought from this guy before?

What do you think of this rear end?  it looks like a good price.  How does it compare to DocDiff's Dana?

Thanks

The price is right. Free shipping is a plus. I recently bought the same thing for the same price, and it's not rebuilt! Plus I had to drive for 4 hours one way to get it.

Yikes!  4.10 gear.  Isn't that going to be a little limiting on the top speed?  What kind of RPM would you have to turn just to drive 75 MPH on the freeway?
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

I think you would be getting near the redline.   :22yikes:

With a stock trans, Auto or 4 speed is a 3.54 the best gear for a 383?

In my opinion (depending on tire size) - yes.

 :iagree:

However,

It will paired with a 440 and a 5sp or overdrive 4sp.

That's an awesome deal, I have at least $2k into my original e-body dana.

Only drawback is it doesn't look like he adds the pads for the pinion snubber.

I bought one from this seller although I havn' installed it yet. Greg is a great guy and very helpful and knowledgable. The only thing is that Most of his rear ends do not have the pinion snubber mount . Eric
