Interesting Dana rear end for 300-series

I found this for sale at this Finnish site

http://www.nettiauto.com/viewVehicle.php?id_car=967986

It's an aluminium Dana rear end with new 4.88 gearing (has a LSD) and it is modified to fit in 300-series.

Price is just quite staggering, 1000€, though it is from a Group-F rally car* and rally parts are never cheap.. Expensive but that would take "some" power..

*Group F is a Finnish motorsport class, cars are 2WD cars without turbos and vehicle's international classification has to be expired. Quite a popular class (well most popular if popularity is measured by the number of participants) because cars are not so expensive as in bigger classes and cars vary quite a bit, because new vehicles come in as one's international classification expires. And there are lots of cars like that in here.

Very interesting. As said also expensive.

James are you still looking at doing an lsd conversion or have you given up on the idea?

Jani already pointed this out I think. Very interesting, but also a pretty crazy price. I would like an LSD, but it's a seriously pricy option at this point in time.

cheers

Pricy!!! Says the man that delivers Daf's across Europe to get Rare R Sport parts.

Perhaps you can take them some bags of tea and some english crumpets via some crazy road trip in exchange for the LSD

thinking about it, i dont understand how they bolt it to the box . no pics of the front end to see......

It looks a bit like two pieces have been welded together...i.e. the front half of a M47R diff and the rear half of the front case-section of a Dana 30.

The roadtrip didn't work out *much* more expensive than just paying for the parts to be shipped...

cheers
