Mike you are a master and humble to boot. I enjoyed working with you when you helped me rebuild my stock unit.

Hi Scott,
It was my pleasure. Hope things are going good for you.
If I get some free time I'll show why some of these Dana's break and why some of them don't.
Mike

Great, shoot me some pics if you still have my email. One of these days we'll get around to rebuilding the unit in my '67. My son and I are still getting some final touches on the '76 before I get back to the '67.

I have broken 2 differentials with a fastburn crate engine in a 77 vette with a manual and just went through my 3rd with my procharged motor. It seems you can build the IRS up but at a hefty cost. You can retain the handling benefits of the IRS, but a solid axle conversion to a moser m 9 with the autofab kit looks like a good way to go. I think that is what I am going to do since mine is broken. You may not handle as well but you also have less drive train loss.
