Tell me what rearend to use...

[LSxChevelle]

So the car has a 10 bolt non-posi...

Can't order custom driveshaft (non slip yoke for TR6060) until I have my rear figured out.

Finding a used rear and upgrading it all adds up so I'm thinking about just going with an assembled Moser as I can get a steep discount.

Car is street/strip/and some light road track.

Please help me figure details...
-So 12 bolt or 9 inch?
-Width? Stock or? I will mini tub car and notch fram rail.
-What internals?

Thanks for any guidance...

Right now it will be a little over 500 but plans to add Whipple will bring to 800+...

Was looking at the M9 MUSCLEPAK....opinions?

Guess I should look into what a full floater setup is first...

Well, it is awesome. It eliminates the old factory style wheel bearing. It instead uses a floating hub and 2 tapered roller bearings to hold the tire in place. No more c clip retainers for the axle shaft holding your tire in. No more brake knock back issues. Lighter setup, better brake availability. If you snap an axle shaft, nothing else bad happens. Tire does not come free of the car and the shaft will not grind on the inside of the axle housing

Moser can build you a circle track axle with all the factory brackets that will bolt rite into your car

Because of the splined drive hubs, I would not recommend a circle track style floating hub rear end for drag racing unless you opt for "The GMR" floater. The circle track floaters are simply not designed for the tremendous shock loads from launching the car. However, for street and road racing a floater cannot be beat.

I saw your setup on another link...

What floater do you have? What all was involved in the brakes? Plan is to switch to Z06 brakes in a year or so. I would do now but that also means big wheels/tires. Need funds to make it a driver first.

If possible I want to run cheap disk or drum for now so I can put money torwards $900 driveshaft I have to get as well as some other misc stuff to be driveable.

As far as drag I would go out a few times for fun but actually I am planning on building a street/strip fox body with LSx/t-brake glide.

I have a Moser circle track floater which is why the Moser logo appears on the axle cover. If you want to run inexpensive brakes until you have your big wheels, the smarter move would be to just keep the 10 bolt in the car for now and modify your existing drive shaft for a couple of reasons. 1. You will have less money in a drive shaft mod than you would trying to fit drum brakes on a floater. 2. You really need the wheels first in order to determine the correct width of the rear axle when you finally do order it.

You are in a situation where if you try to patch something together short term just to get the car running with a floater you are going to be spending a great deal of unnecessary money in the long term and you will likely not be totally happy with the end result. There is a logical progression to how you purchase parts and when it comes to the rear axle, you need the wheels first so you can mock them up under the car exactly where you want them in order to determine the exact width rear end you need to acheve the fit you want. Every build is unique so you cannot depend on someone elses measurements to work on your car.
