Yep thats our car #24
Moser got it approved , its not a fabbed housing.
I will say unless like us you are going for every ounce and to relocate the wieght where you want it, the dana 60 moser and strange makes (especially if you use moly tubes) dosent weigh much more (10-15 lbs ish) and is actually $200 CHEAPER !
But that was our decision, I know its approved for the Drag Pak car specifically....that should translate to other Mopars, but since its not a fabbed housing (as in plate) it should, be Ok, I would check with the Tech Guy for Stock and SS at the NHRA Bachelder, I cant remeber his first name (My memory is my whiteboard
Also with the 60 your pro gear choices are a lot larger.
And noone has alloy spools for the 8 3/4 anymore, that I know of for 35 spline axles except MW, and for those make sure you get the axles splined for MW spline obviously. I looked for months and either I looked in the wrong place or I managed to find the last 2 new ones on the planet, I bought both that were in stock, they MAY run them again but they said they only sell about 3 a year so who knows on production, these were manufactured 2 years ago.
The only thing, is if you are going to get the Moser for a Drag Pak car, make sure they dont put the brackets on, have your builder do that, the location was based on an earlier layout from Mike at MPR, that changed, and last I heard the Moser was in the wrong location, I got mine without, but the vent was drilled and tapped where a bracket is supposed to go.
Also if your going with an aftermarket 489 case, they are backordered big time, check with Moser (they sell them) but last I heard was MAYBE late Dec or Jan. I dont do maybes so......
Cheers

So It seems theese days if you want to build a new Ford or Dodge you can do just about whatever you want and it will get approved?
