[Tigers] Tigers' Rear Axle

[robertdhogan]

E-bay listed Tiger D9472511 includes a Ford 9 inch rear axle housing which
triggered some questioning. 

 

While the adjustability benefit of a unit removable differential unit and
pinion assembly is part of the Ford 9", does the Ford 9 inch axle assembly
have a higher torque capacity than the stock Tiger rear axle assembly?  How
strong or durable is our standard Dana 44 rear axle in taking the potential
for 450 Lb.-ft. or more if considering a 430 HP 347 stroker?  

 

Also, what is a distinction of the Tiger's Dana 44 positraction unit within
the realm of all Dana 44 advertised differentials?  

 

Always wanted to research these questions.
