Fab 9 housing
Anyone here selling them. A local shop quoted me $1250 complete with ends, bearings, and axles. How does that price compare? I have not had the chance to sit down and make calls. Thanks

That includes everything but brackets. I have seen that picture before. I have it saved in my favorites. You going to be running a 4 link?
|
We would be happy to work with you on the Fab9 from Chassisworks. I'm sure if we are pricing apples to apples with your previous quote we can either match it or do better. It will depend on the specifics. If you would like, email me with the specs and we can go from there and better help you get the parts you need.

Fab 9
Yes i am going to run the chassisworks prostreet 4 link. Heres is a pic of the back half. Attachment 15366

there are a couple of vendors that are chassisworks dealers, the only one i knew of was SC&C but as it would appear above, Drivers inc is also in the game... have only had good experience with SC&C and only heard good things about Drivers.... so its a question of who is closest, and your personal preference..
I have talked to markus at SC&C about Fab 9 on another occation and as i understand it you really need to be sure what you want, as the housing is built to your specs, so be sure you know exactly what dimensions you need.. If you want some assistance in the geometry department i can personally vouch for marcus at sc&c ... but i cant say that drivers inc arent suspension geometry gurus as well... hope it helped alittle |
Sorry for the ignorance and i don't mean to hijack the thread but i was curious what is the advantages to going with a fab9 rear end? I love the way they look but wasn't sure. So does it take 12bolt stuff or ford 9"? What about axles? I don't have it in my budget but maybe the next build. again sorry for the hijack.

its a fabricated 9 inch ford housing... "fab9" and it accepts: well 9 inch components... that being said, you can just as easily stuff a 12 bolt diff and ring/pinion in there if you use a strange engineering 12 bolt drop out centersection, just be sure to order the axles with 9 inch ford axleends.... :D the advantages o fthis is the reduced drag and weight of that unit...

Sc&c
Sc&c would help in the geometry aspect of building a 3link, or coming up with the measurements on the housing itself?
|
with regards to the 3 link question im prety sure the answer is yes... with regards to the measurements on the housing i am equally sure thet marcus would want you to supply some of the measurements to be sure that it fit.... but give him a call, he has experience designing 3 links... :unibrow: im just waiting for him to market the latest one :unibrow:

I paid $900 shipped for a Moser M9 (Fabricated) housing bolt in for a 68-72 GM A body, 35 spline axles, bearings and 3" studs.
|
Much difference between the two (moser vs fab 9). Thanks
|
I think you will be happy with either one.

Here's the M9 before powder coating and after. Give Frank at www.gpsuperstore.com a call. He'll work out a good deal for you. I got mine from him and he was able to have the air bar mounts welded onto the housing for me.

I will make the call ASAP. Thanks for posting.
