9'' or 12 bolt??
Bob, thanks alot for the information. The steel driveshaft we installed seems to be working just fine with the moser 9" rear. i to half seen the stock aluminum driveshaft fail. Guess more than anything i'm just t'ed off with having to go back and changing the studs. not really sure if that is really the way i want to go, but with the spacer and weld pro stars i have on the rear stud length is my real issue. nhra rules want to see more stud out of the lug nut than i'm getting and i wanted larger then stock dia. studs in the first place. one thing for sure when i'm ready for that aluminum driveshaft exotic performance plus will be hearing from me. again thanks alot bob. wayne

9" all the way. They are a drop out third member housing that allows you to keep more than one third member and you can change them out easier. I keep a steet set and a race set. You can have a spare ready to go in and be done with the swap in an hour. Try doing that with a rear loader. The one thing about the Nine inch I don't like is the factory style posi has clutches on only one side and incliked to burn out quickly and prone to breakage at the "hat." I personally like the Detroit Tru Trak myself. So far it gives very consistent burnouts and very straight launches. It has survived many High rpm launches with slicks and a 4 speed. Just my experience. Moser seems to be the best deal to me last time I paid attention.
IMPORTANT: Most after market housings I have seen have not come with axle seals installed. You must knock in some axle seals or the diff oil will leak into the suposedly sealed axle bearings and cause bearing failure. My friend found seals from a mid '70s lincoln that fit in his. I dont know the exact application as my 9" is a late 1950's housing with small housing ends with moser axles and I set up my own gears.
Good luck.

Call Danny Miller before you buy from moser or strange I think you'll like what he's got to say he make's a awesome 9" He is considered one of the best in the biz. 636-861-3900. I think he may be a little bit more money but you get a better housing

Theres alot of talk of the 9 is stronger than the 12 bolt and i don't dissagree but how strong do some guys need there stuff.I think a 12 bolt can take serious abuse.Isn't a ford 8.8 equal to a 12 bolt as for strenth?I know there is a shitload of mustangs on the nmra board that run them and some of these guys are running 7's with them.And wormboy i belive has a 12 bolt and be is a 7's car also.

12 bolt = some risk, were as a 9" = a lot less risk (if any) for just a few dollars more and a little more weight.
Auto or manual, make no difference ... both can and have broken 12 bolts. "Do it right the first time" .. right?
IF .. someone fell into a super deal on a 12 bolt (>$500 diff.), I could see how they could rationalize the "risk".
Just my .02
Yes, I will be getting a 9"!

This usually ends up being the same price as the Moser 12 bolt once the freight collect shipping is paid on the 12 bolt. The 9 inch rears go by UPS, as the fully assembled center section arrives in a plastic case, ready to bolt into the housing, making UPS an option as the parts then are under their weight limits.
The 9 inch weighs a little more than the 12 bolt, but the extra strength found in the 9 inch is worth it. Bob
