Re: FORD 9"info
Make sure you inspect the area around the rear pinion support bearing to make sure no one has ground this area for gear clearence. If that's OK you will be fine I have a freind that's had one in his car for over 10 years a 9 second car with brake. Joe

Make sure it is nodular iron. Except for very early ones, they will have a big N in a square recess between ribs, just above the pinion support hole (visible from the outside).

Re: FORD 9"info
If it's not the nodular, then check the place Joe told ya about. Look for a crack, if none keep an eye on it during winter maintenance. Trans-break's are hard on stock 9" rears.
