If I had a choice starting from scratch, I'd probably go with a Dana 60. But I'd treat the gears in it as well. I just accumulated too much 8 3/4" stuff over the years and experimenting with ratios was easy.

Myron,
If you ever get a chance to change to a Dana 60 you would never have to buy another gear. The only issue with the Dana is the limited number of gear ratios that is available now. The last gear in my car was in for 10 - 12 seasons and it looked perfect when I changed ratios. That would be about 1000 - 1200 runs, I use synthetic lube.
