71rs

So I'm building up my 71 with a ~475HP 406, T56, sticky (Toyo RA1) semi-street tires. I've been planning on going with a ford 9", but the more (and more, and more) I read, I know that a 10bolt will take care of me just fine if it's built right. Plus, it will weigh less, which is twice as important considering it's all unsprung weight.
Anyways, on to the question:
Does anyone out there build/sell 10 bolt housings? I'd rather not have teh hassle of pulling one out of the junk yard if it's possible to buy a ready-to-go housing that was assembled properly on a jig, tubes already welded, ford ends (no worries about C-clips), etc. and I can just stiff it with gears/posi/axles/brakes and bolt her in.
