Quote: Here we go again!!!!!!! LOL So the real question is this. How much $$$ does it take to modify an 9 to fit into an A Body? Taking into account you have 650 ft/lbs of torque. Running drag radials and it weights 3200 with driver? Street car and occasional drag. Was on Mark Williams web page and a complete 9 rear was 3700 to 6000 What upgrades do you guys recommend for the above combo? Matt
Properly braced stock type housing will be fine. Use a Nodular center and a good pinion support and you are set. Axles, brakes, spool, gears and all that stuff is a wash for ANY rear you choose. Really the only added extra cost for the Ford is the Nodular center housing and good support. A Nodular steel center can be had for less than $400 and a good support is $180. Also Strange sells complete race ready drop in centers in Nodular iron, with spools, pro-gears and yokes for $1350. The alum version is $1500. Lots of options. Those complete center prices are with PRO gears, so you could get cheaper with a street gear
