so is anyone selling these yet? What kind of price tag do you have? Does it retain ABS for a 95 bird? Use stock driveshaft length? Work with a Spohn chasiss mounted torque arm?? What gears are available?
I am interested! I would love more information!
Thanks!

Some info that we have -

PRSF05 Strange Dana S60 '98-02 F-Body Camaro/Firebird $2169.99 (regular retail is usually $2289.99). We can get this done a little more for 5 or more orders.

The Dana S60 features -
35 spline axles
HD Posi
Chrome Cover
3 or 4 channel ABS
The 1993-97 rears have built in mounts. The 1998-02 require to use of your factory brake backing plates. They can be sent into Strange before the rear is built. The stock driveshaft will need to be shortened 1.625".

The following gear ratios are available - 3.54, 3.73, 4.10, 4.30, 4.56, 4.88, 5.87.

The weight difference between Dana 60 and 12 bolt is 20-25 lbs, the Dana is heavier. Dana rear is fully assmebled with posi weights around 215 lbs and 12 bolt is around 189 lbs (weight with brakes)
The weight difference between 12 bolt and 9" is about 12-15 lbs the 12 bolt being lighter.

Ring gear sizes:
12 bolts ring gear only 8.875 OD
9 ring gear is is 9" OD
Dana has ring gear of 9.75 OD which is alot stornger than 12 bolt & 9".
The standard Dana gear (not Pro) can withstand close to 1200 RWHP.

The True-Track is posi is standard along with Power-Lock. These are good for 600 RWHP. The Dana's posi is alot stronger than a 12 bolt and the 9". This is because the Dana Posi's are 35 spline, 12 bolt is 33 spline and even weaker 31 spline in the 9".

Hope this covers it

Very nice! But, what do they have for driveshaft options and torque arms? I have a stock driveshaft, so do they have a lightweight DS for a light price?? hehe
What about the torque arm? Is my Spohn one gonna work? I just bought it, so it better! I have both drive shaft safety loops too. It is chasiss mounted, and has two sets of holes, one for stock and one for the 9 inch. Will either work?

I have the same questions as firebird stud...and i am extremely interested as well...(dunno if the whole finances thing will allow or not)...except that i have an Edelbrock standard mount non adjustable torque arm. will it work?

I agree....a very nice rear end...stronger AND cheaper than a 12bolt...what's up with that? lol.

firebirdStud

I know, its a god-send! I found that strange makes a shortened chrome molly driveshaft for 279!! Holly vagina this just keeps gettin better! I think strange needs to update their damn website so I dont have to rely on someone else to figure out what I want! no offense or anything!

These shafts will worth with the Dana 60 -

U1699 is $209.99 - 3"x.083" DOM chrome moly driveshaft with H.D. U-joints
U1700 is $329.99 - 3"x.083" Seamless chrome moly driveshaft with High Imp. U-Joints
U1702 is $289.99. - 3"x.083" Seamless DOM chrome moly driveshaft with H.D. U-joints

The stock torque arm will mate up fine. The Spohn will need to be modified to fit.

xxsaint69x

are you guys goin to run a special on them...lookin to buy one right now

tbyrne

Our regular price is $2289.99. There is an introductory price that has been running for $2169.99. If you would like to order now that would be the price. We'll probably be wrapping it up on 9/10. We'll be able to shave some more off of that for 5 or more orders.

these rears come fully assembled, ready to bolt in? If it gets close to the 5 orders where the price might drop a little more i might have to jump in

firebirdStud
