Yup it's a DANA 44,but there is something about the gears(do'nt know what) that make them some expensive ****'s.I believe I saw them at one of the vendors on www.ls1gto.com in the $400 area.Good luck with the new ride.
If you can get me a tag number off of it I will call Dana when I get to work and get some info on it. If it doesnt have a tag it will have a number stamped into the rear diff mounting frame section. It should be a 606xxx-x number.
