Best axle swap

[JohnnyUtah1]

My suggestion would be to hold off on buying any parts yet. Build the car on paper front to back before buying anything and it will likely save you dozens of hours and thousands of dollars.
READ READ READ. There is a ton of info on this site, almost too much, but it's way easier to learn from others' successes and failures.
Don't get in a hurry.

Oh I’m gonna be all over this site

Your probably right but wouldn’t this be a steal for 900 bucks

Your definitely but I did find a ford 9 “ that is affordable it seems like that’s really the way to go

The one I found is already set up for a g body with 456 gears what is the gear ratio doing exactly

What else do I need to take in consideration on the axle aspect

With the ford 9 “ if it is set up right should it bolt
up with minor modifications or will I be changing drive shafts

I know I still have a lot to learn just trying to see what my best options are

The first part of that post got all messed up sorry about that

Here’s a pic of the axle I’m looking at

what is that axle out of?. I would be concerned with the caliper hitting the frame with the rotor so far inboard. The studs will need to be changed as well

All he said was a g body frame

Why would the studs need to be changed?

That 9” looks like a winner. You need to know the axle spine count though. A gearing change in a Ford 9” is pretty cheap so don’t panic about the ratio.

What is that 10 bolt out of ?? As Driven said if you plan on upgrading, what is your expections and find out what you need to achieve them.

they are 1/2" studs

Looks like a full floater too.
