Default MWC F-Body Housing

For those of you looking at getting into a fabricated housing for your F-body and want to build your own center section we do offer the housing by itself but we can also get you into a complete package.

Our price is $1250 shipped to the lower 48 States and you get a F-Body specific housing, chrome-moly adjustable torque arm, torque arm cross member, and 4 hole height adjustable pivot link. All the options needed such as relocation LCA brackets, brake line tabs, brake hose mounts, E-brake cable brackets(if needed), sway bar brackets, chassis brake hose adapter bracket, ARP housing studs, drain plug, and all necessary hardware are all included- at no extra cost. We can also do any custom work needed to the housing, and we can do narrowed LCA brackets and narrow the housing up to five inches. Many different ways to get you what you need for your particular build if it's a daily driver or a 7 second ride.

If you are looking for other options we have these available.
Fill cap-$30
Tow loops-$40
Lower wheelie bar mount cross bar-$50
Transverse shock mounts-$25
Back brace-$150
Powder coating black-$125 We can get other colors add $25

When buying our housing package we offer discount on all our suspension items as well. The are all chrome-moly and double adjustable.
Anti roll bar-$350 that bolts to the housing and weld on chassis tabs
Anti roll bar-$375 that bolts to the housing and bolt on chassis tabs
Lower control arms-$185 offset LCA add $25
Pan hard bar-$115
Tunnel form fitting bolt in drive shaft loop-$80

Again this is $1250 shipped with all our standard features including a chrome-moly adjustable torque arm and cross member. Long or short arms available with the short arm coming with a built in drive shaft safety loop.

Any questions please let me know.

I went with the Midwest Chassis housing for my build. I couldn't be any happier with what I got. It is very high quality and great attention to detail. Call Eric he is great to work with.

Concerning YOUR torque arm. . . . whats the likelihood it would work with a M9 housing? The mount brackets are offset from each other top/bottom.

If you think it would work, how much for just the T/A & crossmember?

I do not think it will work, how ever we will sell our torque arm, cross member and weld on tabs if someone is interested in mocking up their own stuff.

I realize they're different rears (the Fab9 & M9) but whats the center to center on the eye-bolts for the Fab9? I figure thats a more appropriate question to ask. Thanks!

the Watts link setup is made from chromemoly and is 525.00 with a rearend order. We are currently at 6 weeks but as the tax returns come we are taking orders daily.

Whats the purpose of mounting our torque arm to a Moser M9 anyway? The M9 is a good housing, but the one we make is lighter, just as strong or stronger, and costs less...

all the fabricated housings are relatively similar dimensions at the top to bottom measurement so I would imagine it is a possibility... we have mounted our torque arm to the stamped style housings as well.

the short arm crossmember is made from 1x2x.120 mild steel tubing, but I can make one from chromemoly if you'd like. there won't be much of any advantage to it though because there isn't much material to begin with. all of our tunnel mount crossmembers come with a driveshaft loop installed as well.

The purpose is I've already got the M9 housing (cheap cheap cheap) but no t/a for it. I too expect it's really really close, but when spending more than $50 I wanna be very sure. Thanks,D

this is my next mod as soon as my build is finished after this semester...
is it pointless to run after market sway bars when you have an anti roll bar? i have strano bars which i would remove the front when going to the strip.
