you would have to do some fabbing to make that rear end bolt in. or you could just buy a built 9" from strange that would bolt right in for 2k.

The 9"readends are used by everyone to dirt track racing to old hots rods to drag racing. When they see them, they grab them. They are hard to find. You might find a car with one that is close to the same size and make it work. I think I read somewhere about someone do that.

i think the 9"ers are also more durable. im pretty sure im just gonna keep the 8.8. it already has gears. it was just a topic i wanted to look into more, just incase.
