Strange or Moser?

[427TJ]

I need a strong differential for my '55. I like the Strange 60 only because I have always thought Danas looked cool. Any advice on either company or type of rears?

I had Moser put together a complete 9" (spool, 35 spline, brakes, etc) for my Fairlane. Quite pleased with the quality and the price. Strange was a good bit more expensive for the same setup IIRC.

Agree that Danas have the cool factor, but they're also a bit heavier than a 9". If weight doesn't concern you, go with the Dana.

Scotty, just wait until you see Bill's '55. A Dana 60 is about the ONLY modification that could make it cooler...

Dan, you da man! (Had it out for a drive today too!)

I am leaning toward the Dana mainly for the cool factor. Strange admits on their site that the 60 is heavier but they tout it as being stronger too.

I don't know Moser's history, but with Strange your dealing with a race car/Muscle car Icon. Same people/company from "back in the day."

Very true... well said Stefano.

I PUT A STRANGE 9" IN MY 69 WITH 25 SPLINE AND SPOOL, LOVE IT NO PROBLEMS, RUNNING BLOWN BIG BLOCK AND 5 SPD. LOTS OF HARD LAUNCHES.PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE ALSO

a dana sure would look cool, but the practical side of me says 9" a couple hours and you can change gears from fun to making time down the highway, a dropout of 4:56 and 3:23 sure sound good..
