Quick Performance 9"/MWC T/A Install Figured I would post up some pics of my rear end install from yesterday. The rear is a Quick Performance housing, Yukon nodular iron n-case, Moser 35 spline axles, Motive 4.11 gears, and a QP 35 spline drag spool. The t/a is a MWC crossmember mount unit. This is their special mount for cars running true duals. Everything went in like a glove. Rear bolted right up and the t/a went right in. Didnt even have to drop the exhaust.
Stock 10 bolt:
The QP rear end unassembled:
T/a mount, Wolfe drag bar (not yet installed), and the MWC t/a unit:
10 bolt out:
Stock 26 spline vs Moser 35 spline:
Center section (assembled by QP):
Center section installed:
9" going in:
Hooking up lca's and shocks:
MWC crossmember fits like a glove around the 3" true duals:
Some other views of the crossmember:
T/A hooked up:
Everything hooked up:
Pinion angle set to -1.5*
All done:

Correct me, if I'm wrong, but are the rear calipers mounted on the wrong side of the rotors? They're mounted on the outside (towards the rear of the car) in the pics, but I believe they're supposed to be mounted on the inside (towards the doors). Right?

The center section was assembled by qp. Everything from housing, to axles, to 3rd member was 1990 shipped. The actually assembly of the rear (bolting on 3rd member and putting in axles I did myself

Just realized I never updated this thread with the drag bar pictures. Better late than never I guess!
The one downside to the QP 9" is if you, like me, are trying to mount a solid drag bar style sway bar. Because of the T/A mount, it does not allow it to mount to its intended location without some minor modifications.
As you can see here, I had to slightly grind down the back side of the T/A mount to get the drag bar in its proper place
Clearance was real tight, but we made it work
Welding the bracket to the axle tube
Another issue was the chassis links supplied by Wolfe. Again, because of the T/A mount, the bar was placed slightly further back then on your standard rear. Not a problem. We just ordered some longer links and were back in business
After everything was welded up and adjusted, this was the finished product. Looks badass and performs just as good as it looks
