July 15, 2005 - 9" Rear Upgrade
 

Since I am planning to build a pretty strong engine for this car, I decided to upgrade to a 9" rear.  After checking out Ebay and a bunch of other sources, the best route to go is with a reproduction Mustang 9" rear housing from Delta Bay Mustang.  $450 for the housing and you can use you old 8" axles and backing plates.

Here's the Delta Bay Mustang repro 9" housing in it's new home.

Swap was made with GT springs from NPD.  Brake parts came from a local parts house and were dirt cheap.  Everything dropped right in like it was suppose to.  Third member is 3.50 open bought at a swap meet for $100.00.  It probably isn't all that good, but for now it rolls.

 

While we were at it we installed a new gas tank from NPD.  Don't you just love new parts!
