It's not so bad, could be stuck on a murder train.

Will if fit the BRZ?I still have an SHO engine.
I wouldn't want to fit anything taller than a Boxer in that nose. Lots of width, not much in the way of height. Then again, IIRC that one guy on Youtube that pisses me off apparently shoved a 2JZ into one, and he sucks.Will if fit the BRZ?
A Buick CUV will feature more expressive proportion with a greater emphasis on form and athletic fashion
What does that mean?
FWIW the only major difference between a current D44HD rear and a D60 is 3/4" of ring gear. The Rubicon 44s went to 60-size pinions and tubes a while ago and the JL's axle has massive pinion bearings. You can even fit 1410 U-joints in the front Cs. Those axles have come a long way over the years.
There's several Dana 44 variants out there. Like the one in Nissans that has so little to do with the original that nothing from either fits the other...
Then why wouldn't they call it something new? It will just confused FUD's like me that think that Dana 44 only means the Dana 44 that was made for about 60 with minimal changes.
Salisbury! I was just feeling left out of the axle talk. Apparently it's a metric Dana 60 but not quite as strong, used as a rear axle in Defender 110s up to 2002 and as front and rear in snatch vehicles.
Would be nice to put a pair in the bobtail, also found a company doing portal kits for normal Land Rover axles for quite a lot of money.
The F150 has a Dana 60 sized rear end as well, the Sterling 9.75. I'm actually kind of surprised I don't hear about them being used for swaps since they are quite beefy and very common.
Salisbury type axles are fine but I do like a good Hotchkiss type.
F150s got the 9.75 with the max tow/7700 package, but guys looking to swap tons are more likely to go for a complete 03+ Super Duty setup (BJ60/S10.5). The main issues with the 9.75 are the thin axle tubes, lack of aftermarket support compared to the D60, and the oddball metric bolt pattern that doesn't match up well with the usual front axles that would commonly be paired with it. Awkward middle child, basically.
Pretty sure all of the 09 and up trucks got the 9.75. Both of mine have had it.
Those are good reasons for not swapping, but I'm still glad it isn't a Dana 44.
