prices/info from Spohn.net

US Gear/Eaton Posi - 33 spline
T/A alum perf. rear cover
Non C-Clip Rear
3.73 Gears

Moser Engineering - Ford 9" Rear - Complete:

Not much of a price difference....this will go on a 383 SuperRam engine with a T-56 tranny.....mostly daily driven....some drag racing and some autocrossing. Which rear end would you recommend and why?

a 9 inch is stronger, but does have a higher parasitic loss than a 12 bolt. In reality, you'll be happy with either one.

ps you can get pretty much whatever ratio you want for a nine inch.
