Dana 27 posi rear axle for stude

[studebakerjoe]

looks like joe got his wish. he looked at the tag on the rear axle that he bought off craigslist from the Daytona two door lark two weeks ago for a couple hundred and he got his twin traction posi he wanted. good for him. we didn't know what he had until he looked at it closer, didn't realize we had a twin traction. cool for his hot rod

Good score if that is what he wanted, but I hope his "Hot Rod" is not too HOT, because a "27" is the lightweight Axle for 6 Cylinder and 259 V8's not for over about 180 HP.

A 289 has 305 Ft. Lbs. of Torque and will destroy one pretty quickly.

True enough, depending on the weight of one's foot and the height of one's gears. I put a 27 TT 3.07 behind a 289 and do not drag race or burn rubber, just get mesmerizing fuel mileage!

A word of caution; one shoe does not fit all. You break it, you bought it.

I told him no burning rubber lol.....an axle was broken by him once

[studebakerjoe]

the axle was taken from a v8 lark daytona

[studebakerjoe]

it survived on that since 1960 as long as hes a good boy and dont burn out i would think it would be fine
