i feel my stock rear end isnt going to hold up and im looking to get a new one either a ford 9inch or a chevy 12bolt, which is better and who has the best price on one, im lookin for the complete unit
Ford has the drop out making gear swaps easier BUT that is not something too many people do much unless you are very into the seen of racing and then pro streeting.
i have a moser 9in ford in my malibu,it has 35spline axles,full spool and it will hold up 800+hp,if you have the money buy the 9in from moser,or a dealer and you will only have to do this 1 time.the 12bolts will only hold up to 600rwhp,now if your only making that kind of pwer then the 12botl will be your ticket,but if your like me then you will be breaking that rear.also most of your racers,like stock suspenion/drag radial guys run 9in fords.big power run the 9in.bigshot846 said:i feel my stock rear end isnt going to hold up and im looking to get a new one either a ford 9inch or a chevy 12bolt, which is better and who has the best price on one, im lookin for the complete unit
i paid 2,300 & some change for my 9in rear,with the center chunk,it my be alittle more,but i'm sure you get the picture.SafariWagon said:I only paid $240 for the 3.25 one-legger third member. I think it was a good deal off of ebay. 31 spline and Moser Axles. This first year the wagon may see the occasional street duty in the winter. Didn't want a locker because driving one is like watching a pig on ice in the winter. Later on when the car won't see any winter duty I can swap back to a different ratio with a locker if I want. That's why I like the ability to change gears. The other plus for me was the elimination of C-clips if I decide to do more of a performance build up with this rear. Check prices a complete housing with billet ends, new axle tubes, all the correct mounting brackets already welded on, and Moser axles isn't a bad price. Excellent quality on this piece, nice welds. Now if you say $2000+ for either the 9 inch or a 12 bolt are you telling me your spending $1200 on gears? That's what seems a bit out of line to me.
