What good is a fab housing without the torque arm for the fab housing? What I'm saying is, what do you plan to do for a torque arm? The torque arms on fab housings are made for the housing, you just can't bolt any torque arm to it. $1250 shipped for a badass housing and torque arm package. You won't find a cheaper fabed housing, https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...y-housing.html I just installed mine last weekend, I got a complete rear end/long torque arm/watts link/and drive shaft package.

The stock drive shaft will work, but it will be 1/2" short so you may get vibrations. On top of that, if you are making enough power for a 9" you better upgrade to a driveshaft that will handle the power, my factory drive shaft broke way before my rear end did.
I was doing about 90mph on a highway pull and BOOOM! it twisted in half, right in the center of the drive shaft, I didn't have a safety loop but it wouldn't have made much of a difference on account of the drive shaft twisting in half right in the middle. That broken drive shaft cost alot of money. It destroyed my adjustable torque arm, y-pipe, and cracked my transmission tail housing, and put some nice holes in my floor board. So well over $1100 to repair by the time i bought a upgraded drive shaft and replaced all the broken parts my stock drive shaft took out. Oh and the $300 tow bill.
It could have been alot worse for me, it could have came through the floor board and took me out, or caught the pavement just right and flipped the car.
What im getting at is if your upgrading to a 9" than its a no brainer to upgrade the drive shaft. **** im on my 3rd drive shaft now, My stocker, then a stock length chromoly sphon, and now a PST 3" thats the correct length for my MWC 9".
Being cheap now may cost you alot later, maybe even hurt yourself or someone else, broken drive shafts are nothing to play around with, like i said my stock drive shaft broke before my stock rear end did.

It seems like i'd be the first with a MWC 9" and kooks true dual combo, so I can't find any info if there will be clearance issues, I might just bite the bullet and be the genie pig.
I bought my bare Moser Fab9 from Bob @ Brute Speed for $800 shipped. Got it about 4 days after ordering. Painted it myself to save on powdercoating cost. I like to have things when I buy them, so I couldn't wait months to have a rear. The housing by itself weighs 74lbs.

Got a PM asking what our housing weighs so I figured I would post it up.
Our fabricated f-body rearend housing in stock width with a back brace installed, powder coated, and all the bolts that we supply is 62.2 pounds. Even includes sway bar mounts, drain plug, e-brake cable brackets, caliper brake hose mounts, and chassis brake hose mount.
