NEVER ENOUGH POWER Nov 25th, 01, 09:08 AM what type of mark williams rear end is better, a ford 9" modular floater assembly or a ford 9" pro quality rear end. i need one capable of handlind around 1500-2000 lbs/ft of torque. big gear head Nov 25th, 01, 09:51 AM The floater rear ends are for circle track racing or Top Fuel. I don't think you need that. ------------------ '69 RS/SS396 pro street 427/4spd/9" Byars Performance High Performance Drive Train Parts And Service www.lubedealer.com/biggearhead (http://www.lubedealer.com/biggearhead) NEVER ENOUGH POWER Nov 25th, 01, 09:54 AM thanks for letting me know that.what is the difference between a 9" modular rear end and a 9" standard rear end? big gear head Nov 25th, 01, 04:52 PM Are you sure it's not nodular? Nodular iron is the material that the high performance cases are made of. It is a lot tougher than the standard grey iron. In your case it is nessasary. The standard case won't handle the power you are claiming. I recommend using someone else besides Mark Williams. The M/W cases have a problem with the pinion housing bolts pulling out of the case. I don't know why. ------------------ '69 RS/SS396 pro street 427/4spd/9" Byars Performance High Performance Drive Train Parts And Service www.lubedealer.com/biggearhead (http://www.lubedealer.com/biggearhead) pdq67 Nov 25th, 01, 04:56 PM Oh, abouta 36" rear. OOOP'S, I'm thinking of the wrong type of rearend here. I gotta get my mind back to my car!! I just had to again!!! LOL, LOL!!! pdq67 PDQUICK Nov 26th, 01, 04:46 AM NEVER ENOUGH POWER, A "floater" has floating rear axles. This means that the housing ends are set up for big hubs and cone bearings much like the front end of a four wheel drive truck. With this set up, the rear axles "float" in the housing. These are used in circle track cars so that the rear axle shafts don't have to support the weight of the car or take the high cornering loads they just have to drive the rear wheels. Much too heavy a setup for drag racing !! http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif ------------------ Paul D. ----------------------- 68RS, 331, 10.5:1, 4spd, 3.90 9", lowered, 245-45-16's all 'round [This message has been edited by PDQUICK (edited 11-26-2001).] 67 Prostreet Nov 26th, 01, 06:24 AM Strange Engineering makes comparable products at a fraction of the cost of Mark Williams prices...! I run a BBC that make a fair amount of power and torque and requested that the local speed shop order a third member assembly that could withstand my present setup as well as a 540 CID motor that I intend to build as the second part of my project. I paid 1,100 for a aluminum third member w/ gears and a posi that looks almost indestructable.
