if he has a 9 inch with 31 spline axles, posi and a decent gear ratio i'ld just take the center section and buy a moser axle and housing package. Then assemble and go.

$100?? hmm i spent 2000 on mine(center section, axles housing, TA mount..etc) id say look at it first then buy it....like the previous guy said use moser housing and so on...that way if center section fails you can buy just a new center vice alll new.....
