Damn GM!!! oh well.. question though how much could I get for my entire drive line? The engine, trans, and rear end all together. the odometer is around 105K and this engine was built around 2k miles ago.

Hey Willizm you like your s60? Any problems with it? Whose TA, LCA, and PHB are you running?

I have a double adjustable PHB, adjustable LCA's, Subframe connectors, and tunnel mount torque arm with safety loop. All of which are UMI. I like the s60, but if I could do it again i'd go with a 9". The lowest gear I can go is 3.54 which is great for my current setup but if you are going turbo you might want to consider the 9" to have the versatility in a wider range of gears. Also the s60 is a little more parasitic than the other rear ends but is one hell of a strong rear end.

Otherwise it's a fantastic rear end and is as bullet proof as they come.

Did you choose the S60 because you're too cool to use Ford parts on your TA?

Ford hater...

03 Cobra vs 5.0 threads are hilarious.
Doesn't even have to be a kill thread...just go on SVTp or Google "03 Cobra or 5.0" and read some if you're bored.

I am running 4.56 gears so the s60 worked for me. I often go back and wonder if I should've bought a 9" but I got the s60 new with a driveshaft for around $2400 I think? So it wasn't a terrible deal. I was wondering whose off the shelf parts to buy, I reckon I'll go with UMI!

I like my dana 60. Its quite, strong as hell, and easy to work on if needed. They need to widen the gear ratio selection more for sure though. They also aren't as hard to turn as the 9 inchs ive heard. The 60 is more efficient in that way.

hindsight is 20/20 and chose the s60 because it has the reputation of being bulletproof and is pretty much a bolt in.

The only thing that took some modification was the torque arm because of how it bolts to the rear. you have to take a band saw and notch it to get it to fit. Pretty standard modification.

See page 4 for what i'm referring too.

Get double adjustable stuff. Makes it easy to adjust suspension on car.

it doesn't take long. I just sit at my desk until i'm near turtle-head, then go to the can.

I waste way more time napping than I do pooping.
