Sorry, there was no way to make that title sound good, lol.


As you may know, I already have my engine.

All my front end parts and subframe connectors are going to come from Hawks Third Gen

What I'm looking for is suggestions on a rear end. I want to be able to put discs on the back and I also want to be able to drive this car. I don't want it just geared to run 1/4 mile at a time.

???

this is one of those time that some one would have to say... "Shouldn't you go see a Doctor about that"

12 bolt Moser LSD w/ 3.73's would be a cool set up

currie 9" anything else is going to be a bit weak, and harder to swap gears. Do a 9 inch and get 2 carriers, one for cruising the other for playing

Both Moser and Currie make nice bolt-in 9" systems for a 3rd gen- worse case you could pick up one for a 4th and get different offset wheels.

I've got a Moser 9" with a Detroit locker, 35 spline axles turning 4.11 gears in the back on mine.

Not too much worry about breaking it either

9", anybody who buys an bolt in 12 bolt when they make bolt in 9"s for the same vehicle is a douche bag

spool it

Thanks for the responses guys.

I was looking at Mosers website. If I go with their 9", my choice for gears would be 3.50, 3.70, or 3.89 I think. Anyone know if the 3.89 would be too much to still drive highway occasionally?

What would you recommend for splines with that setup? Says I can go 28 to 35.

I'd do the 3.70's given the lack of racing you plan on. 35 spline is supposed to hold up better, but either will be fine I think

and the newer ford big ends

The more splines the stronger- but typically the more parts are for them. The 35 need a different case which are a little harder to come across, but still hard from difficult.

And like Arch said earlier- if you DD most of the time go with a lower gear, maybe 3.50 or 3.70, then stuff some 4.11's or possibly higher for when you want to run the 1/4. It would only take an hour to switch the cases out.

Thanks again for the replies.

Called Moser. A complete 9" posi with 3.70 (and extra 4.11), 31 splines (largest I can get with posi, and a complete disc brake setup is $2910.

I need to buy my rims and tires first so I can measure the axle length I need. They will make it the exact length I want and the bolt pattern I want.

Now, I am taking this as meaning that I could buy whatever wheels I want as long as they fit under my fenders. Correct?

 
Rep Power: 1121

correct, but you can't forget the fronts are still the stock bolt pattern

 
Rep Power: 820

get the stock length and throw some welds on her
