Hot Rod mag article about MB diff swap to dana60

apparently the challenger's use the MB rear subframe assembly for their IRS.
it looks VERY similar to a 124, but the diff has a wider mount bracket... likely to handle the hemi's torque.

my point is, the diff is a positrac 215mm aluminum housing... so... any challengers in the junkyard could yeild a strong 124 style posi aluminum housing bolt up!

I think its prolly from the v8 engine SUV. I am convinced that was the case with my 05 AWD Magnum. Lovely in snow but rode like a logwagon and never topped 20 mpg highway ever.
