I got a chance to buy a 9 inch 3rd member for $200. Is in good condition with posi and 3:55 gears. But it is a 28 spline axle setup. Will this hold 400 horses or should I wait and find a 31 spline setup. I plan on ordering moser housing and axle package...

Thats a great deal for $200.00. It should hold 400 hp, the trouble though is it will limit you down the road, and you'll then have to upgrade to 31 spline axles. It's a tough call! Bob

Plans for the car are to go cam-only and a 100 shot. I will not spray out of the hole but from 2nd gear down. So the 28 spline axles should be ok?? And thanks for the help.

Stock axles or aftermarket??? What is this differential equiped with other than the 3.55 gear?

That answers the question about the axles then, but not the carrier assembly. If it is a used, stock, and weak positraction I would not waste my time and just upgrade to the 31 spline positraction right now. Move forward with the assumption he wants to do it right from the beginning.
