HP D60 modifications for rear use?

[Jeff 98XJ WI]

Anybody have any information on modifying a stock Ford HP D60 housing for use in the rear? I've heard there are things that can be done to increase pinion oiling, but I can't seem to find any details. Thanks, Jeff

id say, if you had a front hp60, and a rear 60, you can make a working hp60....not a bad idea

I've heard of many people running them on the street with no oiling mods with no problems... but if you want the extra assurance, JR recently posted a thread on the Pirate board about oiling for a flipped 9", I'm sure that would give you some good ideas.

This is the best article I have seen yet on converting a front HP D60 to a rear HP D60.
