Default What issues will I have doing this?

Ok, right now I dont have $2500 to blow on a rear end but I can probably muster up $1500, I know I can get a moser 9" rear housing etc for roughly $900 shipped(does that include axles??). Would I have any issues using a stock 9" 3rd member that has been rebuilt such as this one on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...spagenameZWDVW

I know they can't handle as much HP as a moser but I think I read they will take 400-450hp and I don't plan on running that much HP for a while and when I do I can always order a moser 3rd member.

I am just wondering what all I will have to change if I went this route, would my driveshaft bolt right up to it or what all would need to be done to get a setup like this to work for me. I need to replace my rear end cause it's on the virge of tearing itself apart and it's very loud and annoying. Is a 9" quiet, that is my main concern is that I want a very quiet rear end.

I think I'd just save up another $700 and then get a complete new unit.

i agree. that way you know your getting everything you need and want. for under 3k you can get a new rear fully assembled and a driveshaft. Not to mention the customer support should you have any issues.
