Title: Who are the current good guys where I can purchase a complete 9" center section?
Post by: cleandan on May 19, 2024, 12:35:39 PM: So much has changed over the last four years....I am wondering who are the current good guys building and selling complete 9" center sections?

I am doing a swap on a 65 Shelby GT350 so I want to keep the original center section intact and original.
It just seems easiest to buy a complete center section for this job...partially due to time constraints too.

I will end up with a 28 spline Detroit Locker (or Eaton Truetrac) 3.25:1 gears and a nice case and pinion carrier.

Who do you know that is providing good customer service, good products, and generally ticking the boxes for a good place to do business with.

I know I can go online and find this stuff, but I'm tired of poop head online businesses, so I'm searching for a good place.

Thanks.

Post by: cjshaker on June 04, 2024, 03:34:40 PM: I'm curious what makes Quick Performance better than buying direct from Strange or Mark Williams directly?
Price?
Service?

Post by: Russ67Scode on June 04, 2024, 07:07:41 PM: YES the price. was cheaper to have them assemble the third member than to buy from strange

Post by: cleandan on June 10, 2024, 10:51:29 PM: The rear end has been completely taken care of.
I installed an iron N-case, iron daytona carrier, Detroit True Trac, 3.70:1 gears, and a 1350 yolk.
Thanks for all the info.

So far everything is working well.

Post by: AlanCasida on June 16, 2024, 01:08:33 PM: I have bought a couple of the used NASCAR units and my experience was less that favorable. Both units howled and the ones I bought used the older style Detroit Locker that clacked really loud going around corners. I also suspected the locker had been modified because it semm it unlocked pretty easy. They also used the 3.25 bearing case which isn't a big deal unless you want to swap in a 28-31 spline true trac or even a later Eaton Detroit soft locker then you need a special adapter breaing race.
