Looking into a 9" rear for my El Camino since the 7.5 is starting to show signs of giving out. I've looked at Moser, Strange, TRZ and even Quick Performance and they all sell units that will support way more power than I could ever throw at them. I've also toyed with the idea of junkyarding a 9" and building it to what would fit the car, but I'm left with a modified stock housing and I've heard mixed reviews about welding on cast iron to put the appropriate brackets on and the toughness of the factory 9" housing. What's your thoughts on this as I'm not sure which way to go. I'm leaning towards buying one but that's lots more money than the budget will allow. I've looked at 8.5" and 12 bolt housings but I'll be in it quite a bit to find one and rebuild it around here, not many around and people want big $ for them, its almost more cost efective to go the 9" route.
