Project Log: Ressurecting FrankenBird

There is my album so far of my days work.

good lord?!

How much power were you making to break a case like that?
...Im assuming that was a production ford case and not a "N" case?

Ouch, nicely done! :owned: the rear end

hahaha omg thats nuts ...only u mike would manage to do that haha

whoops?

hahahaha Ohh and if you check my other thread im sellin a freshly rebuild "SPECIAL" weight reduction Ford 9" spooled case.........


and to think i was only making just under 400/400


ohh and the case had nothing to do with it. and yes it was a standard truck C7AWE Case. broke 2 ring gear teeth off and it wedged the case open like that wen the pieces came around between the pinion and ring gears. AWESOME!!!!!

Extra 9" parts anyone????????????????????? lol

Spool for me?

goddamn blew that thing to shit

holy crap! that sucks.

holy fuk dude I thought you were having trouble with the heads, not the rear... thats a good kill though... lol

ya even put a hole in the floor in the rear

2 holes! But they are small ones! lol

get a little zaino. Promise you it will be good as new

And I have the same rear end as you.....great to hear lmfao

So based on this, should I just put an s60 in my car? Lol That was a 9" you blew up correct? Should I be worried abut blowing up a 9", nvm mind a 10 or 12 bolt, or is pizza just an example of murpheys law? what can go wrong goes wrong for him lol

hahha the 9" is a FAR superior rear end in an M6 car with a torque arm. and this blow up was mostly my fault. broken ring gear teeth is NOT something that happens on a 9"! it does happen wen you buy 100 dollar gears off of ebay just trying to get your fixed on a LOW budget for last season.......

I figured as much. I want/need a new rear end, because arnt rear ends with 2.xx gears unompatable with 3.xx gears. 2 series vs 3 series or something like that? And Id even give building my own 9" a shot just for the cost, if even do able for cheaper.

nice. you dont really need those parts anyways lol

I have some JB Weld if you need to borrow it, lemme know

they sell special gears now to keep your existing 2 series carrier and run higher(numerically) gears.

Just dont use a OEM ford case. Get something decent like the Moser "N" case.. Much stronger.

You can see the strength in it. Also use a Daytona style pinion suppport of some sort. They add even more strength.

The cases are rarely the weak point imho just run a good center section gears axles etc.

Ill start doing some research and see how much it will cost and what not. Any thing I should keep my eyes open for? And for what its worth I don't wanna put a huge gear raito in the back cause Im an a4 and want to be able to drive it on the high way. Low to mid 3.xxs?

good work mike!

Mike has now taken my crown of master of destruction!

:emot-sotw:

Why do you need a 9" lol

6 speed get 4:11's auto 3:73 if your na

id say run 3.50's if you plan on doing stall or bigger motor plans in the future. if your gunna run Na small stall id say 3.73's. and anything for a center case will really hold up well. like john sed its hardly the cases fault. buy GOOD gears and a Carrier. stay away from cheap or "lightened" alot of "nascar" centers and parts are out there. and they have all been Weakened for the extra weight reduction. and they wont hold up well for Drag applications.

another few hours today and its FINALLY! out!

Ohh and yeah wen the rear end blew it wedged the drive shaft into the tranny and i cant get it out. tried a hammer.... Nope. tried a good sized pry bar and booted it a few times... Nope. sed FUCK THIS had my GF sit in the firebird while proceeded to wrap 1/2 nylon rope around the u joint and the tow ball of my pick up truck. gave the rope some slack and then stalled up the truck and let her rip.... NOPE! Broke the rope after dragging the car for about 5-10 feet. Very fun day.....

Nice! lol Time for an upgraded driveshaft????????

hahahahaha it still didnt come out getting yanked by the fresh10???

Damn, when you fuck shit up you do it good.. lol

need the brown bomber dood

It was a funny convo i go i know this sounds crazy but tie a rope to it and use the s10 to pull that mofo. Mike lol i already tried me wow fuck cars lol

Damn, think a machine shop could seperate it?

that sucks good go

This moment I don't but, I will at some point after a stall, heads, cam and if need be some spray. lol So i start researching early.

Ouch! Never seen a driveshaft that stuck lol!
