    After twisting my 28 Spline Moser Axels & breaking teeth off my 8" pinion gear I am upgrading to a 9" housing with Strange center section & 35 spline Strange axels. I bought the housing from Raymond on this board. The center section came in but it will be another week on the axels. I got the housing & center section installed back in the car. I will sure be glad when the axels get here. :yup: Monday I have to send my aluminum drive shaft back to Inland Empire to have a new end put on to match the 9" pinion yoke.

    35 spline 9" should definitely stand up to what you're going to throw at it.(y)

    That's a nice looking chunk. Please bring that car to the Gathering in Joplin this year! :)

    I imagine that this was in your 331" Grabber? What kind of power were you making?
