Great! Mine will be about $500 less up front, $300 less in the end if I decide to swap 3.31's or 3.54's into the Dana 44. Already have had my flywheel & press.plate resurfaced, gmc clutch remanufactured @ Hite Parts Exchange. Using GMC slave cyl & TO bring / fork, maybe new TO brng
Might buy a new Rhinopac clutch kit while they're still available though just to have it.

As it is now, 3.07 rear end Saginaw 4-speed, even with the 3.07 still, the ax15 will give me much lower highway RPM, a much deeper first gear, and much closer gear spreads after that. With a 3.54 rear end I will really realize a lot more hauling potential, especially behind the 351C. Heck, I probably didn't need to jump on that 351C with this gear combination! I bet it will halt much better even with a 305D + ax15
