you will have the same lug pattern, whatever rims you have on your 10bolt will bolt right onto the 9inch

Correct. Brakes, wheels, lower control arms, torque arm, and panhard bar all bolt back up. Bob

I am piecing my 9" build up and I will be well north of $1000 when I am done and I bargain shop like crazy! I bought a Currie 9" housing 3" Narrower then stock on each end with their Torque Arm Bracket Mount. I had Currie add two more lugs like the Moser has the 3 in the event I feel that I need to modify the Torque Arm Bracket in the future. They used cut off stock brackets which some may not think is a good idea but I think they are strong enough. I bought a Ford Nodular Third member with Detroit Locker and 4.86 gears for $300 (1/8th Mile Set-Up) I also will be building a 4.10 Locker I will be building up for a 1/4 mile car! I just got the housing powder coated for $60 (this is THE reason I didnt buy a rear end from a vendor)!!! The $125-200 I kept on getting quoted for Powder Coating just irked the crap out of me. Next on the list is ordering Mark Williams Axles!

If you can fabricate, a 8.8 from a 99-04 mustang gt is closest width junkyard rear, but then you will need re drilled axles to change to your lug pattern. Then you will need a gear i'm sure, the stock 3.27 isnt going to perform good. Honestly you will have $1000 in an 8.8 even if you fab it yourself.

Best thing to do is run a 9in, bolt it in and go. You can get a conversion u joint and run your stock driveshaft if need be.

if he gets one out of a 03/04 mach-1 it has 3.55 gears from the factory and the posi unit can be rebuilt to hold a good amount of power but it has its limits

I want to bump this back up. Im looking at ordering the housing an axle package.

how much is the centersection? Id like to order piece by piece as my budget allows.

also that housing can retain all my factory brakes and suspension? thanks!

Sorry for highjacking, but it looks like you guys were done with it.
