9" rearend

7SecYaRight · 10-29-2003, 12:31 AM

Ok, i got my engine in and running but now i need to deal with the rearend. Im looking for a 9" that has disc breaks that i wont have to shorten/lenghten to put under my mustang. what are my options. If i cant find one that i can swap without shortening, then i will have to stick with an 8.8. Can those things take 400hp with constant abuse???

i see absolutely no reason to switch to a 9" until your over like 1000 hp. the 8.8" rearend is a nice rearend, just get a set of good axles and your good to go. stick with the 8.8" man. i think the basic bolt in 9" rearend for a fox-body is like $2000!
