Default Ford 9" on a 2002 Camaro?

Does this work? one of my friends says he has an old ford 9" laying around and i want to go take a look at it. I know ill need to measure it and make sure it is the same width, but what about all the other brackets and stuff like that? does it take much modifications to make it fit in there?

Anything can work with some fabrication....you'd have to fab the shock and spring mounts, torque arm mounts, and adapt the driveshaft for starters.

Just easier to buy one. If you are asking these questions it's probably going to be your first time doing something like this.

It will definately work but thats where cutting and modifying comes into place. If you have good fabrication skills, the tools and the patience then im sure you can make it fit with some modifying as stated by Guitar.

I read a thread where a guy only wanted to buy the torque arm mount from Moser and they wouldn't sell him one. You have to buy the housing and TA mount together. Probably if you had one of thier rears and broke the mount they would sell you one. Bob at Brute Speed would know.

You could fab up a used rear and probably save a little money, although I doubt you'll save as much as you think you will. The above two Moser packages are a good way to go, in which you can install a used center section and have a rear ready to go.

Moser doesn't sell the torque arm mount by itself. Currie does sell the torque arm mount as has been mentioned. Bob

That is what i was going to get, but my buddy said i could get this 9" real cheap so i wanted to see how easy it would be to install. Probably go back to what i was gonna do and get an MWC 9" and a bunch of their suspension components

The shops that offer the bolt in 9" rears have already done all the homework for us. I could easily fabricate my own mounts, etc, but it's nice buying a bolt-in and not worrying about it.
