9" BUILD THREAD!!! Come check it out UPDATED with pics
Well the inevitable happened and I finally broke my 4.10 geared 7.5 inch rear end. I had one of the bolts shear off that holds in a worm gear for the torsen. Not sure how common this is but if anyone knows I am fairly curious. After some deliberation of just fixing it I decided to go ahead and fix it right and shove a 9 inch under it.
Here is the list of parts:
Quick Performance Housing
Moser Axles
Strange Nodular Case
4.11 Gear
Detroit Locker
Reusing Factory brakes and a UMI Trans mounted Torque arm
Im gonna post pics of the carnage soon!
I have a 4" driveshaft with 1350 yokes. Anyone have experience with fitting a 4"?
And what slip yoke to the trans is a good option?
Thanks in advance for the advice!

if you get one of QP's 1350 series billet yokes make sure you order the strange yoke spacer kit cuz i got mine and couldn't set the preload because the nut was bottoming out on the splines of the pinion gear, they machine further down where the pinion nut goes on, about 3/8" or so

My third member is actually already together. I have some close NASCAR ties and got my third member built and I am not going to touch it. I expect some whine (10 bolt im sure was worse than the 9 inch will be) and I know it will lock hard when I get in the throttle but for what I got the Third member, driveshaft, and 5 gallons of fluid for I can't complain. My main question now is do I try to get away with a 60$ slip yoke for the trans, Buy a conversion U joint and use the stock yoke, or do I need to spend more on a higher rated one?

yes you do. Watch close my housing is coming in today!
Old POS is out
trying to decide on colors
As of now the housing will be red along with my UMI Torque arm. Panhard bar and LCAs I want to keep black. Driveshaft is white.
opinions on the third member color? options are either red or silver
