Refresh an old 9" or buy a moser?
I just got my build LT1 back in my car and running strong. I haven't been hard on the old 10 bolt yet because I'm still babying the new engine. I know with the added power and the 555Rs the 10 bolt isn't going to hold up too long.
So, I was wondering what I should do when the 10 bolt gives up. What would be the better way to go? Should I just save my money and just get the moser 9"? Or go find an old 9" and recondition it? Does anyone make a kit that has the brackets already made to weld on? And how much would it cost all-in-all for recondition an old 9"?
Sorry for all the question, i'm alittle new to this part of the car. BUt all info well help.
Thanks!

IMO you will spend as much or more adapting whatever 9" you can get to an F-Body. Between getting the housing narrowed or widened, buying the correct axels & welding the spring perches & torque arm mount it's just not worth it unless you can do the fabrication work yourself. Don't mess around with a posi, get a locker or spool.

Well then that answers my question. I was just wondering what would be the cheapest way. And when i put a 9" in it, it well have 4.11s and a locker, no doubt. But Thanks for all the info.!!
