    1993 F250 460 bored .30 and RV cam advance timing. C6 trani.

    So I'm lookin to do a Dana 60 swap, gears, lift, And put it on 40s. I need to price it out so I can save up etc etc. the question is what exactly do I need to get my hands on, and what's the best way to go about it.
    I want to get a used Dana 60 from a 95-97 f350 and rebuild it-what do I need to replace exactly? (because as I understand it almost just bolts up)

    What's the best way to lift it, still get some decent flex, but not break the bank. I was thinking overload springs atleast and probably a 3" body lift. I need I believe 8" of suspension lift in total...

    And what gears are good for power and DD.

    Thanks for any help. Sorry it's so long.

    Very nice truck man. I like when they ride like a tank. Lol. And after the rebuild I did I get 5mpg the way I drive anyway. Maybe 10 if I baby it and it's on 33s right now.

    It def has more power. I like it, good for a boost without going crazy. Pulls much harder but I'm wanting a larger cam.
