Rich,
I think you could get a 7:17 for the Dana. You could get 6:20 and 6:50's for the Ford 9". I ran a 5:67 in my Mustang, a SBF w/steel rods and 8,000+ rpm = alot of scattered parts. A crap budget and big dreams contributed to much of that as well. If you weren't breaking motors, you were shelling driveshafts, axles or in my case a third member.
The part about high maintenance was true as well. Even most of the well funded guys had a hard time keeping these things upkept.
That was another time, I can still recall cranking the gears on my Mr. Gasket inline shifter. Those days are gone forever, only to be relived by those of us that experienced them.
