question about 9'' rears and set-ups
question about 9'' rears and set-ups Its that time to ditch the 10 bolt and get a rear in the car. I dont have the $2200 to buy a rearend at once so im gonna build a 9'' over time. So my buddy has 2 center sections with a 3.73 gear and a 4.11 gear in them. Only down side is there cast centers but he only wants $75 for both of them. So cheap or not its a hell of a deal then just get a aluminum one later when i get more cash and have a few gear sets for a option. Then but a moser housing (p/n B9HP2) for $1000 with axles, bearings etc. So id basically have a 9'' for $1100 or am i missing a lot more parts? Wont be the best center section but its gonna be a lot better then a 10 bolt. Any advise please??

check out burkhart chassis....site sponsor...they have the housing and axle kit CHEAP!
i would upgrade it while u are at it....
do the centersections have posi or open? or spools?....id rebuild them with new bearings and a 1350 yoke....also both have the same spline count?....i would put beef axles in while you are there
i went all out with my 9 inch....strange housing, lightened steel spool, 1350 yoke....35 splined axles etc....i know it will be there every time for me
"the cheap way out is not always the best" thats what i tend to live by

i plan on buying a 33 spline spool for the one (it has a 28 spline spool now so from what iv seen is that size dia. you can go as big as a 33 spline axle), and yes, new bearings and what not. And in the future i plan on buying a aluminum center, im just using thses to get me by and ill just sell um later on.
The one center has a 28 spline spool and the other is just a open rear i think...

I have a number of 31 spline parts, I have a complete center section, a rebuildable posi and also a spool. It's a Strange center section. Let me know if you or anyone has interest, I'd consider keeping the 3.50 gear.
You can use a rear of a 66-77 Bronco they are 5"shorter then stock rear length,weld the tq arm bracket to it and the rest of the brackets that is cheap
allso you can get 10x15 rims with 5"bs cheap,very common Bs
Cheap,Cheap,Cheap

jerry just go with the $1000 housing/axle package and put it together, don't forget to ask for GM housing ends as well for whatever brake combo you're running lt1/ls1 ? I was going to do that, but bob at exotic performance had a nice deal going with free shipping and no tax for the whole thing, so I bought it all at once, what a sticker shock though.
