The "9"inch housing some Drag Pak cars are using only utilizes the housing stamping . It has a different mounting flange that accepts the Mopar 8 3/4" aluminum chunk [good luck getting one!], not the Ford 9'" chunk.
Tom! Shame on you! You (of all people) know better. What about the difference between (and the effects of) sprung and unsprung weight? The chunk is below the spring attaching points so it is being dragged not carried down the track.
