2 9 inch or not!

If your using a Transbrake you probably going to have to use a pro gear in the 10bolt and should not be driven on street everyday. Thats the next weakest link after upgrading the housing and axels. A 9" you could probably get away with a street gear because the placement and size of gear is different.

Got a Currie Ford 9" in my GN. For some reason the bozo I bought mine from did this as one of his first modifications.
Car had 4700 miles on it when I bought it in 95. Only other things done to the car was a lowering job, some billet aluminum wheels and a K&N filter. Still had stock turbo, IC and injectors. Why you would put a 9" in a brand new car is beyond me but I am glad he did.
If you have the $$$ go for it. But I am sure there are plenty of cheaper ways to bullet proof the stock rear.

My car weighs 3360 (3430 when I class race it). I can't even begin to tell you how many passes are on the rear.
Sorry Matt! I have been without power for 9 days along with a cell phone that won't ring. Got the power fixed, and went to Nextel yesterday. Getting a loaner phone today, if they are still out I'm buying a new one.

If I remember correctly, they make Aluminum ford 9" housings, and lightened internals that come out to be lighter than the stock 10 bolt we have. Strong as s**t too
Here's a link to Strange Engineering's catalog.... I ran a strange 12 bolt in my WS6, and never had a single problem

Ryan,
I would just go with a spool, 33 spline axles, & C-clips if you don't already have them. I think for what you want to do it would work good. I would also get the tubes welded to the center section on the rear.
Give me a call when you get a chance.
