’89-10 Dana 60 rear end

Here is a photo of a ZR-1 Dana 60. GM appears to have cast a special housing for this car. It bolts right up to the C-beam bridging forward to the transmission tailshaft. However, the batwing is completely different other than the bolt patterning being the same. The yokes coming out of the case are different length left and right. So the half shafts would also be different lengths. I am guessing to deal with torque steer. Other than adapting the yokes somehow the main case is bolt in.

I have not checked the gear ratios, but the Dana 60 is numerically higher than the Dana 44 that came out of my ’89 L98 car. So I would think the tune in the chip is adjusted.

Any thoughts out there about using the 60 or the 44 in a street driven car?

BTW This is not an active car rear end. The third photo is of one of those.
