DP rear axle assembly - Page 4

Hey Jeff, sorry about my post I apoligize. Just venting about not being able to run the aluminum case and all the Non-Ford New cars can.

Reading back through all the posts it looks like its a real mess. I thought all the DP's got the 9" Ford. Hope it all works out for the Mopar camp....maybe NHRA will compensate and take some HP off .

There is a simple answer to the rear end problem. Make the stock and super stock rule on rear ends the same. Any rear end.

Tony, you are right. And I certainly favor that, but as of August 12,2013 we got this. My intentions are honorable. RJ, I could never get angry with you. We are both too old.

In all sincereity, I was just trying to help and have a little fun. Seems like you were preaching to the choir, everybody heard you, but know body was believing.

You go out of your way to prepare people for the inevitable and ...................

Anyway have a safe trip, see you in Indy....Oh am I still allowed to visit the compound for refreshment and fellowship??

RJ, you are always welcome. Your unique outlook on life is too good to let go by, and of course there are the beverages.

I think I have some credibility in this, all of the "exception vehicles" DP, CJ, and COPO in Stock had to be submitted and approved by NHRA with a complete and full list of components. The 11 V10 DP was built and spec'd with the 9", hence only the 11 DP can use this assembly. The same as with all of the unique components on this car. These exception vehicles have a unique component spec sheet that applies to that vehicle only.
MPR is correct in that the 09 and 10 DP did not come with a solid rear axle but the solid axle conversion had to be approved prior to its release. The then current approved rear axles were allowed, 8 3/4, Dana 60, 9 1/4.

Dan look in the Stock Car guide... Now the 426 is in the 2009's and 2010's... Not the 2011... They have changed their minds so many times.... I'm not sure what we have.... But I do know the 9" is legal with the 426.... So I think you are right.....

But if you look in the engine blueprint section the 426 is only in 2011, not 09 and 10. And its yellow highlighted in the 2011 like it is a recent change. Who knows?

Stewart, I looked this morning and it wasn't in the 2011 but it was in both the 2009 and 2010???? So who knows???? Stewart, I'm looking in the Stock Car Classification Guide.... The 426 is in both the 2009 and 2010 in Yellow and a note that says 8-15-13??

Your right. For some reason they have made changes so the class guide and engine spec guide are opposite on the 426.
