Re: Currie rear end

That's a lot of money. I think I sold a very similar Moser 9 inch for about $400 less than that.

Re: Currie rear end

A lot of money? Yes indeed. Worth it? Who knows. Could expect years of fun driving with that though. And that is the point of my build.

And if you know of a similar rear end let me know. Has to put up with no more than 500 ft lb at the wheels. And no less than 430.

Re: Currie rear end

The Currie housing is a nice part, didn't have any problems with mine. Got everything from them except the 3rd member which I bought local.

Re: Currie rear end

i have a moser 9", housing and axle package, stuffed with a detroit truetrac, yukon 4.56 gears, aluminum pinion support, daytona style 3.062 bearings, 31 spline axles, strange center section, and a 1350 billet yoke....

a got the ls1 rear brakes to go with it as well, ready to bolt in... only problem i found was with the torque arm bracket hit 1 centersection finn, a little grinding and i will be set, haven't even installed it yet..

to me, moser all the way

Re: Currie rear end

thats a bit Much..are you puting out more then 1000 HP??

i got a complete bolt in 9" from them with detrt locker 4.10 .31 spline axls
that red anodized front Hub thing.1/2 studs .and. made to put up with 1000HP beating on the weekends... $2200/$2300 to my drive way..SO MY 400 TO 600HP beatings are NOTHING!!to it

took mine out.. and slid the new one in.. like it had came from there!
my disk drakes fit like a glove!!! (1LE CAR)

just get the housing with the pinon support.. and what gears you like..

side note i dont USE the tork arm parts on my 92 Z28
it's all south side Lift Bars.and subframe..so i think it was $200 Less for mine..thats why it was 2200 to 2300 feels so much better. driving it with out that ARM...car stands up when you stand on it.. its just feels better!

Re: Currie rear end

Just have them do the housen with the Locker and the Gears you want.
set Up to bolt into your car.. with the Pinon support/Hub 1/2 screw in studs.31 spln axls. using your Disk drakes (you have them?) and total to you

should be less the $2500.

your not going to brake it..

forgive the dust..my car has been sitting for 7 years..just took this photo
Bolts right in less then $2300 to my drive way..takes about 45 min to install by your self..(then for me 3 hrs of welding) after selling pinon angl.

Re: Currie rear end

I've had a Currie rear end in my Trans Am for over 10 years and never had a problem. It has survived a supercharger, a built 350, a manual valve body turbo 400 that shifts very hard and slicks at the track. I broke/rebuilt 2 other rearends and stepped up to the Currie piece. It's a good piece and worth the money in my opinion.
