Only reason I wouldn't use the Pontiac rear is if the final cost of finding a limited slip unit and the gears along with the normal rebuild (freshening) was approaching the cost of ordering one out. Last December I ordered out a Strange Dana 60 for my 67 GTO and with their current sale and free shipping the cost was under $2,800. Both strange and Moser build new Dana 60 cases and the overall width can be chosen when ordering. The cost of the 60 was less than their 12 bolts and the same as the 9" Fords. Know I'll get some heat for the photo but took this pic at the Hotrod anniversary drags at Pomona awhile ago. Second time I've seen it happen at the drags with a 9".
Anyway, I've got the Fabcraft gears and a 1965 3.08 Pontiac posi rearend and it's going in the '65 Catalina Safari wagon that will have 495ci of push.
