I've got an opportunity to buy a 9" rear for really cheap. I had originally planned on a 12 bolt someday so I'm kinda lost. I know obviously it's a good rear but I don't know what all I need to get it going under My 95' Z. Here's what the seller say's about it: "I have a ford 9" housing, third member, and 31 spline axles, no brakes. It measures just over 60" to the ends of the tubes. The gear ratio is around 3.50:1 I'm not sure the exact ratio but i do know it is in the 3.50:1 range. I also have a mini spool that has never been installed." Tell me what else I will need besides the brakes obviously. Also if this sounds like a good setup? Thanks all

 

How do you plan on getting the torque arm to fit on the rear? Is the 9" made for an fbody or was it in something else? I don't think you can do it unless it was made for these cars or if your good at fabricating stuff. Anyone else?

 

That's where I need some help. I basically know nothing about what I need for this application. Any takers on helping me out??? lol

 

i know i have seen ads for 9" fbod kits but i'm sorry to say that i don't remember where i read it. basically it's just a friendly push to let you know that such a thing does exist . from what i've heard a 9" conversion is a bitch compared to an 8.8" swap. mind you though this is all just hearsay because i have never personally seen an fbody with a ford rear.

 

You'd be better off buying one made for our cars already.

 

Moser ,Currie and also DTS makes a 9" rear to directly fit in our cars.I just got a Moser 9" housing and axle package for $920.That includes bearings and torque arm mount.Just need a center section.Something to look into.

I'd definately be interested in buying what you mentioned 97WRAITH if this price didn't jump out at me. $200 bucks for sale or trade and the guy lives in my home town, so no shipping or waste of time driving. It comes with everything I mentioned earlier too.

 

ttt Anyone else have any ideas or input. I'd really like to buy this rearend but not if the overall price is going to be over what I'm willing to put into it.
