Does anybody have pictures of a 9 inch Ford rearend that's been modified to install in a Third Gen? From what I can tell, it looks like they basically just weld two lengthwise tubes stacked horizontally over each other to the left side of the 9 inch housing. And it looks like you would have to use an aftermarket torque arm with rod ends or something to mount to these two tubes, does that sound right? I'd love to see some pictures of somebody's replacement 9 inch housing and torque arm mounting with the torque arm. Thanks.

Here's the kit if you want to try to adapt a junkyard 9". An aftermarket adjustable torque arm is always recommended. The factory torque arm only belongs in a factory spec'd car. They'll all bolt onto the bracket the same as bolting it onto the factory diff.

I bolted in a 9" from Denny's Rear Axle a while back. Your right, they take two lengths of tube and weld them horizontally across the top and bottom of the housing. From there what they did so I could reuse my stock torque arm was had a 1/2" steel plate mount to those bolt holes. You're stock torque arm slips around the metal plate and you use two new bolts to mount it. I'll try to get a picture but its pretty basic.
