9 inch in a 54 sedan? What swaps in?
 




I am putting in a healthy engine in my 54 sled. I am afraid that the stock rear on my 54 2 door sedan will not be able to handle the abuse I plan to put to it. What year 9 inch will work to replace my current rear?

Bolt pattern and wheelbase are the same? Just want to make sure to keep it as close as I can for wheel clearence.

These have the same bolt pattern and are within 1/2" +or- in width. I have a '57-'59 in my '54.

You can also use 66-70 mustang 9". 1/2 inch wider and need to move spring perches. Have a 69 rear in my 52 Vicky with 429 CJ.
