Dana 44 is an OK rear, would probably be ok for your auto car, however are you sure it is a Dana 44 ? Not aware that one of those was ever made for an Fbody ? Maybe it is one of the BW 9 bolts they put in the 3rd gen ?

I seem to remember quite a few years ago SLP sold a bolt-in Dana 44 for the 3rd generation cars. I remember seeing it advertised in the Summit catalog years ago when SLP sold that crazy looking T-shaped ram manifold for the pre-LT1 tuned port engines. Early 90's maybe?
