I have a reasonable 408sbc and Th350 setup and the original 7.5 inch 26 spline diff is week and i need new gear set also.


Got my eyes on a 9 inch ford ,,a GM 8.5 inch 10 bolt or a 12 bolt setup.
Are there any reputable outfits making bolt in diffs with the torque rod bracket OTHER than Moser,, Hawks 8.5 Gm, or currie, or Strange.
I am situated in LA and @$4000 plus freight there must be somone out there doing it a bit cheaper,,i dont need willwood brakes or alloy carriers,a basic 9 inch LSD with Chev bolt pattern brakes will do fine.

 

Have you checked with Quick Performance? Their 9 inch rear ends are usually cheaper than others.


Mark Williams makes a really nice 12 bolt, but at a higher price than the others.

 

ithanks mate... will look. i went to the hawks website where they build big 10 bolts that start at 2200 bucks,,,,when finally ready to put in the car there over 3800 bucks,,they just sent there quote... i dont need a full drag strip diff,, just something that wont break ,,,i am aiming at 12.0 second passes only

 

Could get a moser housing and axle package, last time I looked it was about a grand. Then just pickup a center section and go. Can get a junkyard piece, might find so.ething good, or an aftermarket setup with all the goodies. Maybe an ebay or Craigslist find too.
