need some info on putting a 9" in

I am building my car into a drag car and right now I have the 406 in and th350. I have a race built tranny with a 9 inch converter about 3800 stall. The 406 is a factory two bolt main which I had the main caps splayed for 4 bolt main. Eagle forged crank. Scat forged h-beam 5.7 inch rods. JE forged dome pistons with dart heads. Im running close to 12.5:1 compression.
Now for my queston, I know this 10 bolt wont hold up for its life. I have a 9 inch out of an old Torino and also a 12 bolt out of an old truck. I dont care about widths because I will end up tubbing it next winter. My main question is. Is there a kit or something out there with all the brackets that need to be welded onto this rear so that I can use it? I know there is no way my current rear will be able to handle 4000 rpm launches on slicks so Im gonna see about putting one of these other rears in.
Dont come in and tell me to just spring for the moser direct bolt in 9 inch or anything because I am a senior in high school and work at advance auto parts. So I am on a high school budget for right now. $2000 is a little high for me right now. Any help is appreciative.

built a jig around your 10 bolt and relocate the brackets to the 9" and make a torque arm mount.
