Strange Engineering S60....with 12 bolt ends so you can re-use your brakes.

The 12-bolt is way more efficient. The 9-inch is super strong but consumes something like 20% more energy.

Unless you are going serious racing there is no reason to switch to a 9".

The original reason 9" rearends became popular was they were numerous, cheap and strong. They are not so numerous or cheap anymore.

Find a 65 to 67 12 bolt and drive on....

I went with the Moser 12 Bolt and I had them install housing ends with tapered bearings that accept 98 and newer Camaro 12" rear disc brakes... It's a bolt on with all GM brake parts... :D
