Default 9 bolt backed LS1 question

I'm hoping someone here knows the answer and realize 9 bolts aren't something usually found behind LS engines.
We almost hooked up and the Borg Warner 9 bolt's spider gears are now in a mess. What's the best option for a stronger differential aside from spending 3k on a 9 inch?
I don't have that kind of money and won't until spring. We were hoping to get her back on the track by saturday for a local Street Car shoot out.

Junk yard blowout is your best bet. Aka, shop around at local collision centers/junkyard/wrecking yards and find something cheap and easy. But frankly guess what? You're looking at the 9 inch one way or the other someday, like it or not! A few junkyard visits later, you'll agree and see my point! Good luck and have fun!!! I don't understand how you messed your nine inch however . Spider gears are hard to kill on the nine .

edit: you said nine "bolt" right? huh? lol. Ooops my bad. Just find a used 10 bolt if that works, either way...go used for now! Nine bolt will simply not be a good partnership. sorry.

+1 on a junkyard 10 bolt...should be less than $350 complete.

But my gawd I love my mwc nine. If I could figure out how to have sex with it there would be little 9s running around the house.
