if you dont already have disc brakes you will need to get them in order to use that rear....

i have a moser 12 bolt with richmond gears, an eaton posi, ford housing ends, the aluminum support cover, and 33 spline axles.....its awesome.....

all together including all the brake parts, it cost me about 2500 bucks.

i talked to moser, and they said i could keep drum brakes, but would have to find them from a 81 or older camaro. this would be the route i would go with for the cost factor.

they told me youd have to use pre 79 ford torino drum brakes......i got all the brake equipment for a disc brake setup off a 9 bolt rear at a junkyard for 100 bucks

if i was you, id order the rear with ford housing ends and do the same thing.....cause you wont need c clip eliminators, as your axles will be bolt in....and you'll have alot bigger axle bearings too
