Ford 9" build

[fdjizm]

HUH??? IT's on the drivers side of the removeable carrier. I assume you've never worked with a 9"? I'm an old fart...grew up on 8"/9" rears in all my Fords....lol

Yea never actually seen one in person but all the pics I see on the net I could never see any kind of fill hole haha.

799 for the housing, 500 for the axle kit, and 80 for the caliper brackets

did you just by the kit from them or did you get it from somewhere else?

the fill hole is actually in a really awkward place when its on the vehicle...its on the side of the 3rd member casing

3rd member..4.56 richmond gears, detroit tru trac, strange 1350 "billy badass" yoke

Currie Alloy 31 spined axles..

Housing mocked up in car..

I have all the suspension and everything hooked up on it i will have full pics of that tomorrow...

how much did the 3rd member run you?

how much did the 3rd member run you?

from randy's ring and pinion completely built and shipped was 1045$

can i pick your brain a bit out these rears?

oddly my 8.8" stocker is slightly warped or somthing because of heat, its ok but eventually need to replace it and i want to put the 9" in.

I read on the currie website i think that you cant use a normal 3rd member in the set up for the s197s? there is a special one or somthing.

yeah the currie 9inch housing will accept any ford 9" third member...i just chose randys because it was built and shipped all i had to do was throw it up in there and bolt it in...and actually cheaper than buying everything seperate and putting it all together myself

 

[Airborne2000]

got it all bolted up yet?

 

[06GTMustang89]

yup everything is ready...just waiting on a new driveshaft

 

[Airborne2000]

that must be frustrating. how much was shipping from currie for the kit?

Here's a pic of my Currie.

 

[06GTMustang89]

i got everything in!! Drove it around town and everything is smooth and no whine...so all is good finally after a month of installing and waiting for parts..heres the picture of the final install..

it felt sooo good to drive it again...now after i get this paid off its time to tackle more weight reduction...i see corbeau Fx1 pros, 6 point roll bar, momo steering wheel, pass airbag delete, a/c delete and odyssey battert going in the nearish future

 

[Airborne2000]

awsome man!!! i am getting some money together soon to do mine. do you remember what the length of the drive shaft was that you needed for the 9"?
