Budget rail
rooman:
One problem with the Dana is that it IS "bigger and better" and for that reason it is a little bulky to be draping your legs over. And if it is not already the correct width for a front motor car narrowing it is a bitch. I generally use the Strange H1110/2 housing as it is compact and makes for more room in the cockpit.

yes 9" is good lots of parts,easy to work on, aftermarket housings come in all shape and sizes check out the one Roo uses
dreracecar:
With that combo, plenty of Mopar 8 3/4's out there, small-cheap- easy to work on, The car will weigh in at around 1500#, no need for a gynormas and heavy rear end. Although a 9" is popular, its still on the side of overkill and not cheap to build
