Herb,

 

If I had to do it over I would have gone with the 9”. Live and
learn. Considering all the wasted money and pain in the rear problems I had,
$3600 would have saved me a lot of pain and strain!!(GRIN) I just new I could
find a cheap one in a junk yard! WRONG!

Hi Dan,





 





When I got to the point of replacing the
10 bolt in my El, I called Currie because I wanted a 9" in my car ever
since my first car ('70 Torino) because it had
one.  Anyway, when I called Currie I figured the rear would cost about $2500
but by the time I hung up the phone I spent $3600 ($360 was for S&H). 
It came fully equipped with 31 spline Curry forged alloy axles, Strange nodular
iron 3rd member, billet aluminum pinion support, 3:70 gears, Detroit True Trac,
Explorer disc brakes, inspection cap, drain plug, billet 1350 yoke, and black
powder coat.  The only mistake I think I made was not getting the Baer
brakes in place of the Explorers because I ended up selling the Explorers when
I gave in and ordered Baers.





 





I guess what I'm trying to say is that
rear was probably one of the best things I bought for my car.  Other than
an axle seal leak (Currie sent me a new bearing and seal free) it's been a
flawless performer.  Sometimes I forget it's in there until I get under the
car to do some cleaning then I see it and go "Oh yeah, it's got a
9".  : )





 





I can say for sure, if the next project
needs a new rear, it'll be a new unit, either 12 bolt or 9".

When I bought my 72 Chevelle, it was supposed to have a 12 bolt posi.
Well….it had a ten bolt non-posi! I thought..no problem, there should be
plenty laying around, and we have so many junk yards in the Houston area. Well, after much searching
online, not to mention a gazillion phone calls, I found one on a 71 Chevelle
that was hit in the front. They took it out…It was a 12 bolt and cost me
$500. I was so happy my search was over. I got it to the shop the next day and
we took the cover off, it was total CRAP inside. The case was good, that
‘s all. Well a call to Summit, and a new Eaton posi, Richmond 3:73 gears,
Superior axles, a new aluminum cover, bearing and extras, plus I got the
housing Powder coated! Life was good, but by the time I added all the money
spent. I would have been fairly close to buying one from Currie, Moser or
Strange!

 

Then the following year and an incentive check, I came up the bright idea
to add Global West CAT 5 Suspension with Wilwood 4 piston calipers and zinc
washed rotors, so…I ended having the ends chopped off, new ends welded on
and bearings to eliminate the C clip. Oh don’t let me forget, the new
Moser Axles…plus the rear had to be sand blasted and re-powder coated again…..Yep..I
could had a nice Moser unit like Clint, with a hell of lot less headaches. Poor
planning on my part! 

 

Learn from my mistakes! I also run a bored out 454 with an 8-71 blower.
It has a nice heavy lope and does turn heads when I go to Houston.

Michael,

 

  Learn from my dumb mistakes!(GRIN) The initial investment buying from
Moser, Currie etc, may seem like a lot, but over all it’s not that bad.
If you’re on a budget, save till you can get one!

 

One thing I would recommend, is to make a plan on what you want to do,
and can afford to do. I go in spurts when I get an incentive check, with
planning after the fact. If I buy another car, I will do it different!

Hi

When I

wanted a 9" in my car ever since my first car ('70 Torino) because it had 
one.  Anyway, when I called Currie I figured the rear would cost about 
$2500 but by the time I hung up the phone I spent $3600 ($360 was for

Strange nodular iron 3rd member, billet aluminum pinion support, 3:70 gears, 
Detroit True Trac, Explorer disc brakes, inspection cap, drain plug, billet 1350

getting the Baer brakes in place of the Explorers because I ended up selling the
