I'm not sure I know what part that is. Can you point it out to me? -

I'm sorry. I didn't know. I will post prices when I get back on my computer. I did it this way cause I didn't want to go too high or undersell myself. But I will look up what each part is relatively going for and post the prices accordingly. -

That would be awesome. Nice car by the way! That burnout was badass! -

I was going to try to keep the staggered shocks so I'll probably try to have some fabbed up so I can keep them. Do you got any photos of your set up? I would love to see some shots of how it's all mounted up. -

Thanks. I'll make sure to do that. Do you have staggered shocks on yours? -
9 inch housing help
Heardatbeat replied to Heardatbeat's topic in Suspension, Handling, Brakes, Wheels and Tires
That's some really good info. I have been reading about the 8.8 inch and the inherent problems with the C clips. There is a solution out there that gets rid of the C clips entirely. I know most of us build our cars for that 10 percent. But I'm trying to sway from that and build for the 90 percent. Which is just a badass street car. I'm not a professional driver by any sense of the word and I don't need drilled or slotted rotors. If I was going to use mine for the track I would definitely be building a track car but since it's just going to be a street bruiser I don't think the C clips will be -

Right on! Yeah I already sourced one out. 230. I'll have to ask about the drive shaft. Thanks for the good info. Now I just need to sell the 9 inch. I'm sure I won't have trouble with that. -

That's cool! I wouldn't mind switching to disc brakes. Especially if it's oe. Well some fabrication needs to be done to this one so maybe I'll sell it and get a 8.8 instead. I'm sure I won't have trouble selling the 9 inch. Starting from a blank slate would you rather get an original 9 inch or the 8.8 swap? -

The housing diameter measures 3.25 inches where the spring perch sits. The length of the bare housing is 61.25. -
Good afternoon everyone. I got a '71 Mach 1 that the previous owners swapped an 8 inch in place of the original 9 inch (learned from help here and the Marti Report). Well I finally got a good deal on a 9 inch from someone local to me all he knew was that it was from a pickup $150 for the housing, center and axles. After some cleaning I found the bucktag and found out it came from a 70's F-100 it measures 61 inches from flange to flange. After some more help from one of the 7123 FB groups I found out the spring perches are on the top instead of bottom because pickups had the leaf spring on top
