Howdy me again I was wondering if it was feasible to put a well built dana 60 into a 3rd gen rx7. And if it had been done.

Way to heavy and total overkill... 8 3/4 would be much better choice than dana 60...

If you can afford it, or perhaps find a used one, how about a Franklyn or Speedway mini quick change?

Real strong. Safety hubs. Change final drive gears in 10 minutes. The Speedway can be modified to be as nearly as strong as the Franklyn.
