Ford parts .. I still have a bunch , because I never really used them .. :)
Lets see …
A single rib case is std pig iron and had 2.892 side bearings . Mostly 28 spline axles.
A WAR case is std pig iron with two ribs 2.892 and 3.062 side bearings . 28-31axles.
A N case is nodular iron , two rib , most 3.062 bearing , 31 and some 33 axles .
I liked using the early small banjo housings that came in F-150 trucks , vans and Rancheros .. by 1995 I bought Mittler Bros. sheet metal kits a half as dozen at a time. 3" x .250" wall molly for housing tubes for door cars and .188 wall for dragsters. And still can install , small ford (for 8.8") , big Ford early and late ends , Olds / Pontiac ends , Lamb ends , MW ends , Strange ends , and Strange floater ends .
My biggest seller was the Strange aluminum case with 3.250 side bearings and 35 spline axles . And either std 28 spline pinion stem or the 35 spline Pro stem 9310 gear sets.
Big inch nitrous or blown alky , was always a Strange Ultra case with 12 bolt ball bearing pinion support and thru bolted caps . 3.812" side bearings , 40 spline gun drilled axles , scalloped flanges or floater and 9.5" gear set …
I remember it like it was yesterday … :D
And yes Mopardude .. I have a bar and bushings to put those ugly :p 5 bolt Dana 60 ends on a 8 3/4 too … ;) :cheers:

Why do all that when most mopar big block hot rods could be had with a dana 60? I do understand you are talking race cars (read weight savings), but us "normal" street rats could just check the right box. One thing I liked about chryco back then, they would build damn near anything on a standard order. No factory approval, not even for an orange car with a green interior. I've seen 2 of those & their build sheets. 1 Challenger & 1 Sport Satellite.
reminds me of my ex wife turning over in bed and me trying to get out of the wayQuote:

Ruined a 12 year old mind :rolleyes: I understand exactly why, in your world you do what you do, remember I said street rats. Didn't say, but was referring to '60's era. But yes, MUCH easier to change just a chunk. Been using Snap On figit spinners for 55 some years (-;
