9 inch Ford rear-end

Ok guys, I've decided not to go 12-bolt b/c for what I'm wanting to do with my car I'd like the ability to swap pumpkins/chunk gearsets in the rear. Who makes a durable 9 inch Ford rearend for an F-body? It will see dragstrip and road race use. Thanks

Just seems like the best choice since you can change gear ratios. ;D

Yes you can drop the housings out, but it will still be a PITA b/c of torque arm, panhard, and sway bars are all still in the way. the TA more than the others b/c it has to be unbolted.

I'm not concerned with the difficulty of swapping it. It'll give me the versatility i need.

I've been considering a 9" as well mainly because of the better selection of gearsets available. I have not seen any that have provisions for the ABS though. That would be important to me. Anyone seen them available with ABS?
