Pictures of the S60 here:

LS1Speed just had a GP on them.
It will require drilling some new holes in the torque arm mount, as well as trimming some metal off of the mount. In addition, taking 1.25" or so out of the driveshaft. And somewhere I seem to remember reading that the weight was between a 9" and a 12 bolt. This is a new torque arm equipped casting using D60 gears, not using old truck rear ends.
Looks good to me, but I'm not one who has actually purchased it (that was my friend)... just helping to install it when it gets here.

Just adding that with the S60 you must shorten the stock driveshaft. Unlike the 12 bolt or Ford 9" where as long as you use the right pinion flange the stock driveshaft can be retained.

When I ordered my 60, I bought the driveshaft they offered which was a sweet deal w/ the gp. Sucks for anyone that as a nice DS already and is going to a 60, but i just had the stocker so it worked out for me.
