Exactly. Unless you can do all the fabrication yourself and shorten the axle tubes and weld new ends on all while keeping the tubes LASER straight, then it's just not worth messing with considering the cost of the aftermarket stuff already setup for the G-body.
I bought a 9" housing and axle package from Quick Performance racing and spent around $775 which included the 9" axle already setup for a G-body with billet LS1 F-body housing ends welded on as well as Moser 31 spline axles.
The housing by itself was only $350 and the billet ends were a $50 or $75 option.
I had a 9" housing that I bought years ago with intentions of having modified but to have a chassis shop setup and properly cut and weld everything was going to cost more than to just buy a new housing.
As a side note, looks like QP has changed their 9" design. Mine is a stock cast piece in the center. The one in the link above looks like its now all fabricated.
I found some sweet stuff on speedwayperformance.com. They have a whole 9" less calipers, and the center section for $775. My friend builds circle track race cars, he gets dealer costs through alot of places. Im gonna talk to him and see what prices he can get. I was at his shop last saturday and he had a nice quick change rearend laying on the floor. I tried to con him out of it, but he says the race team needs it for a spare. 🙁
