All this bad vibe has made me change direction, going with Dana instead. Always heard the 8-3/4 was more efficient.

1) GM 12 bolt 2) Dana 60 3) Chrysler 8 3/4 4) Ford 9" I believe it said that the biggest factor is the placement of the pinion in relationship to the ring gear. The higher the pinion (closer to center), the more efficient it is. The 9" has the additional disadvantage of an extra pinion bearing. I don't recall what others were tested. Somebody makes/made a 12 bolt style center section for 9" housings. Was it Jim Kinnett that had a 12 bolt or a Chrysler 9 1/4 rear in his SS/AA Cuda?

Strange still manufactures an aluminum 12 bolt drop out center section that fits into a 9" Ford housing........ I wonder if that will pass tech (HA HA) for a GM Stock Eliminator car????? Just sayin'

I remember that same article, but have since learned from other sources who have done serious experimentation that the Dana 60 is more efficient than the 12 bolt.

The Strange 12-Bolt, 9" drop out has weight limitations on its use. It's designed for very lightweight cars, dragsters and roadsters. |
