Re: Strange 9" in a 2010 Drag pak
A little humorous to me that Dodge uses a Ford rear end, and a Chevy Powerglide in their Drag Paks.

Quite a turnaround since back in the day when the bow tie guys used Chryslers four speeds and car Danas. Because the 12 bolts and snaggel tooth trans wouldn't stay together.

Re: Strange 9" in a 2010 Drag pak
I thought the LaSalle transmission was the hot ticket?

Re: Strange 9" in a 2010 Drag pak
And Chevy and Toyota use a 1957 Ford 9" in their cars. And Ford and Toyota use 1965 Chevy truck rear control arms in their NASCAR cars!
A story about the First Year COPOs in the first meeting for the proposed content the use of which rear end to use was being discussed a old drag racer was in this meeting along with a couple of top GM and Chevy executives that were there. The old Drag racer suggested that they use the Ford 9 inch with a GM part number there was a gasp. One of the execs said we can't use a Ford rear end in this ca. The Drag Race popped up and ask then how can you send the Chevy NASCAR Teams to the starting line every Sunday with Ford rear ends in them! There was total silence he then ask how Ford and GM were developing the new the 8 speed trans together? No one said much after that. |
