The Dana 60 is stronger, the both use close to the same amount of power to drive even though the Dana is heavier. 9" is easy to change ratios on and can be built on a bench, have more than one center ready (one track, one street), and there are tons of ratios. Drag only and with a set ratio the 60 is hard to beat, all around the 9" is a great choice.

Also the 9 inch ships in 2 pieces that cust down on shipping. There is just more options for the 9 inch right now, but that doesn't mean that there won't be for the dana in the future.
I have helped with a couple of dana's now and they are O.K. The 9 inch is just easier to work on. Just my .02

The D60 is the same basic design as the 12 bolt, and even the 7.5" stocker. It's just a bigger version of the same. I like (and just installed) the Ford 9 because it's a totally different design with alot aspects that are better. I built mine from scratch, learning as I went, and every step of the way I was thinking "huh. . . I wonder why the other guys didn't do that." Build one yourself and you'll understand. . .

You guys need to contact Danny Miller at (636-861-3900) he has one of the baddest 9" housing and deals going they. Not that the 60 is'nt a good choise but it is a lot heavier rotating mass will kill ET more than just average weight.

The heavy rotating mass on a D60 is really a non-issue, I am a mopar guy & have alot of exp with the D60 & 8 3/4 mopar rear. Even though the D60 is very heavy and the mopar 8 3/4 is pretty efficient there is absolutely no ET difference between the two rears, on the same car, on the same day. There have been a couple of back to back tests done on this and the D60 actually showed a very slight mph advantage in the 1/4mi. In other words the D60 is extremely efficient, & it happens to be the strongest common rear-end that is still light enough to be practical in a car.
