the fitment with the unilugs is fine, they have washers that seem to hold it in the right place really well. I am also curious where you got the 9 inch from

Pretty sure he's from Grinnell?.

I scored the moser 9" off of ebay. Already set up with a wolfe anti roll bar, spool, richmond 4.11's, moser axles and disc brakes. Only downside is its stock 4th gen width, so I'll have to narrow it up a bit to tuck the 325's and magnums under the '94. I'll also probably put an aluminum center section in it to knock a little weight off.

If I told you what I paid for it, you'd prolly both line up to kick me in the nuts.... lets just say I got a deal.... haha

Weather isn't looking too promising.

If it's still like an 80% chance of rain tomorrow, I'll probably sit this one out. I hate that, but I don't want to drive up there for nothing.

Ol' "Goldie Locks" is ready to rock 'n roll, though. So, who knows?

What gears are you running? Im runing 4.10's but switching to the 3.73's hoping to gain some mph since im at the very top or third when i go through the gates...ip around 6400ish where i dont make to much power..hopefully the change will help me with some traction out of the hole..

yeah, i am thinking about a 12 bolt for mine but i'm not sure yet. got that carb on fenton06's car last night, never running an edlebrock again, o yeah he's got 3.73s in his too, if you go to those that will help your traction problem A TON the first gear in the 4L60 is so steep that a 4.11 gear is goin to make it like having a TH350 with a 5.14 gear or something similar, a 3.42 rear gear is the equivalent to 4.10s with the TH350 in the first gear of both transmissions.

I would think so. fenton06 runs 3.73s and its pretty fun, plus if you are running out of RPM that will help, i would bet if you put in the 3.73's you will quit anhialating the tires too.

Well it looks like its going to rain, but you never know it could clear up, 10:30 could give it time to clear through.
