Then I think I'll go with the Zexel-Torsen unit. I like having the traction through the corners. I'm assuming it still hooks up pretty well in a straightaway, right? Just not as good as the Eaton? Thanks for the advice on the spacer Aaron and Kev. Would it be a good idea then to just buy the parts and take it to a reputable shop? Labor shouldn't be too bad on that I don't think. But, is it possible to swap in a 8.5" 10-bolt off of a G-body?

Originally posted by fastTAThe 12 bolt definitely takes less HP to turn. If you are experienced, doing a gear swap takes no more or less time to do with a 9" or 12 bolt. You still have to unbolt and slide the axles out to remove the centersection.
....... so with a 9" you can have 2 seprate carrier units, one low geared with a spool, the other high geared with a posi. you can change the assembly a hell of a lot quicker that you can install a new pinion and ring in a 12-bolt. Plus you woln't need a degree to make it run right.1967 VW Bug 2.3L Ford SVO Inline 4 w/ Turbo, Sand-Drag VW Trans Axle, Race this Import.
