Spencer Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 If you only have a 9" head you really don't have fuck all, housing and axles will cost you $$. You could find cheap stuff, but 9" stuff has the name/rep, its not even that great stock (get a 12 bolt etc). 8.8 from a exploder is all you need and you get a LSD and fancy disc brakes from day one, shit even if you pay like $800 for a sploder diff its still a bargin. P76 discs up front and bam, ford and Leyland parts in your GM mayte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be ken on a 12 bolt, might even sell this ford gear to fund one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 There is some dude who makes bolt in 9"ers for HQ/X/Z by using a 9" nugget and centre housing and using the axle tubes from a HQ/X/Z Salisbury diff. All apparently for a reasonable price. I can try and ask more details next time I see JB but that may not be for a month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'll eat a small hat if you can get a 9" in this thing with a LSD and disc brakes for cheaper than a sploder diff, even if you change the stud pattern on the 8.8" it will be cheaper. The P76 disks are essentially the same as your precious holden ones with a ford stud a pattern, they had to use a % of dingo parts on them.

xsspeed Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 its not the money thing, its not too much of a ball ache to keep it GM stud pattern so I will just do that, even with a 8.8 Â tyres will be about as fucked as any set of bfg radial ta1s lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Lol, steeb, whatchoo going to do, neutral drops launches everywhere? Let's be honest, you're going to cruise most places and barely even try to do a burnout. Get the most simple, basic trans and put that 3.5 rear in it. Don't start crying for fuel economy when you're putting a BB in your car, you fucking fruitcake. Sell those fucking yuck Corollas and get this thing legit. Leyland/Ford/Gm car or no car. Hmm, that doesn't quite work as well as Mopar or no car but it'll fucking do mayte, it'll fucking do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'll take a pepsi challenge that it will use more gas than the Buick Anyway don't worry about OMS he probably just has his period. As a technician steeb just doesn't know what gear to use yet, he wants some shit that wont break when he chirps the wheels at the traffic lights to impress some sheelas. 454/TH400/8.8 and done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
