I bought my 9" from Texas Speed. Spent close to $3k with the options I wanted. Watch classifieds for a good used one.

Be prepared to spend at least 3k. You'll want some options, and they start to add up. Midwest Chassis is the only way to go IMO. Its the same price as a cast 9" or 12 bolt but is a fabricated housing and comes with a torque arm.

Do your shopping, then check us out. You will see in the end that the MWC fabricated 9 inch package is by far the best value. You can not buy a more complete bolt-in rearend for your f-body car. The MWC rearend has many features included at no extra cost, and some of these features are not even offered by the other guys. The MWC rearend even includes all new hardware for your torque arm, LCA's, Panhard bard, sway bar, etc. Just this is a huge asset when it comes time to do your install... no muffler clamps for your sway bar and no cable ties for your brake lines!

Give us a call. We are direct dealers for Strange and Moser as well and have the guaranteed best deal on any rearend or suspension components, and the experience to back it all up.
