Since Crane has been out of business for many years it's going to be really hard to get a warranty. Tom

I would never want to run a short block that was built and sat around for 10 years. Piston rings do not like sitting in one place for that long. You made a wise choice in passing on it for more reason other than the cost. It would need to have been torn apart anyway before I would have ever...

I changed the sentence to read, " As far as a Dana 70 is concerned he takes the carriers out to use the guts in Dana 60's and saves a few sets of gears, but rarely do you ever need to replace a 70 gear set." So now there will be no confusion. Tom

You get a semi floater or a full floater depending on the GVW rating of the truck. Light duty 3/4 tons can come with either depended on how they were ordered.

You can work on a 440 in a Walmart parking lot at 10pm with a small amount of hand tools. Anything happens to the 6.4 you'll need a tow truck. A built 440 will give you a lot more seat of the pants joy than a 6.4 ever could. Tom

As far as the two gear set the OP asked about I'll say this. Going from a 2.94 that you're used to driving to a 3.55 is going to feel like you need another gear. It all sounds good, but driving a 3.55 geared car without overdrive is absolute a borderline deal. If your 440 can't spin the tires...
