9 bolt or '92 10 bolt with pbr calipers

i found a '92 10 bolt with posi,disk brakes, pbr aluminum calipers, and 3.42 gears for 450 bucks. i can find a 9 bolt with basically the same gears & posi for under 200.
both are stock but the 10 bolt comes with master cylinder & proportioning valve for rear disk brakes.
either way i would be miles ahead of my 10 bolt 2.73 peg leg!
opinions?
thank's!

Re: 9 bolt or '92 10 bolt with pbr calipers

my advice...go to the junkyard and get the LS1 rear end...they cost the same as the 92 rear end....if i had the $ i wouldve gone with LS1 rear end, but i was stupid and i have to pray that my posi will hold out......9 bolt parts are pretty hard to come by

The 10-bolt with PBR's is the way to go, IMO.

IMO don't waste your time with a 9 bolt.

Re: 9 bolt or '92 10 bolt with pbr calipers

I agree, 9 bolts are good if you are restoring a car to factory specs. I just dumped the 9bolt from my car and installed a 10-bolt with PBR brakes and earl's hyperfeel steel brake lines. While I was there, i dropped a Torsen T2R in there and the thing powers thru corners like it is on rails....

+11enty billion on the 10-bolt, PBR and T2R.
