Tech Questionike haney, cookeville TN, 1987 Dodge Dakota 360 Hi, I have a little project in my shop right now- an '87 Dakota, frame off, '77 360, 10:1 flat tops, '70 340 J heads ported and polished, Edelbrock Streetmaster intake, and a 316 crane fireball cam. This mill is somewhere around 450 horse range. When I got the truck it had a 28 spline 8.8 inch ford rearend from under a mustang, it was junk so now I'm looking for another. I found one from under a 77 Bandit Trans Am with 3.42 posi. It seems like it measures out right to fit under but before I put one under I was wondering if you know of any that fit right under there without and problems and hold up under my power. In a New York minute: I'd put in a stock Chrysler 9.25" axle from a later Dak. Trouble free, strong, cheap parts, super-easy to service. And WAY stronger than any of that FoMoCo or GrandMother garbage. Rick
