That's an amazing piece of work. How much did those parts set you back? How much lighter is it than a stock 9" housing?

From what I remember reading the huge thread in the gears section is that it is about the same / slightly less weight than the 10 bolt. The torque arm is lighter and moly. I think they are some of the nicest rear ends out there. I want to get two of them, but don't even have the money for one.

Considering an axle and housing from Moser runs like $1100 and torque arms are $3-500 that is a pretty good price.

That particular housing the individual will have a spot on the third member to put the oil in.

get that thing painted!

all 9 inch ford center sections, either stock or aftermarket, come with a side fill/oil level plug. i offer a Meziere 1 1/2 rear fill cap as a option, but is not required.
this rearend is the best bang for the buck in a bolt-in 9 inch setup. it will withstand the beating of high powered drag cars as well as quiet operation on the streets. pricing will depend on how it's outfitted. complete package includes the housing, complete Strange nodular center, axles, chromemoly adjustable torque arm, and crossmember for your particular setup. this starts at 2650.00 shipped. theres lots of options, so call me or send a pm for estimates.
