Oh no yall misunderstand, I am thinking of going with either the Portal axle or Rockwells not combining them. I am thinking about adding portal ends to my 60's but dont think I will. Still not sure.

Well well these questions are up my reasearching ally.

I am building Project X with Dana 60 and 70 centersections with Unimog portal outers. The BIG problem/roadblock is this the unimog portals reverse the rotation of the wheels, so I will have to flip the 60/70 center sections upside down to get the proper rotation at the wheels. I am putting 5.88s in the diffs. That will give me 12.?? at the wheels. Badass I say. With the running gear components I will have 3 crawl ratios 77:1 155:1 and 296: or so....all with the 2x of the torque converter. Can you say

Bad Mo Fo

Anyhow thats some things to think about with different center sections.

Fleck I was thinking of doing the same w/ my 60's; flipping the diffs, and adding portal ends, the front ( high pinion) should be fine (as far as oiling) but what about the oiling for the regular rear end (after flipping)??
