hello im new to here and im from buffalo new york. i have a 70 maverick that im building for street/drag racing im buildin a 351 to a 408. Would like to know dimensions for a 9 inch rear end drum to drum? thank you!!!:bananaman
Howdy and Dimensions depend on what you get the rear out of. A stock Maverick is 56 1/4". Since they are easy to cut down, you can get one out of almost anything. Early Mustangs bolt right in as well as Granadas. But good luck finding one.
Glad you found us.... aboard. Did anyone mention pictures. Pictures are so well liked, I think they are being considered to be made MANDATORY.
thanks im having a 9 inch built. I need the demestions from drrum to drum and how wide of a rim and tire can i get in there.:bananaman and what off set rim can i use?
My 9" is different length than Mavaholics and his is different than another guys and so on. What we find is if you are looking to get a wide tire on the back, which also depends heavily on the height of your car when done, is you really got to measure it all out for yourself. But if you use the 56.25" measurement, then you will probably need a 4.5" backspacing. It is very hard to get over 10" of rubber under one of these without some rubbing somewhere, if the car sits higher, it does get it away from the wheelhouse. But leafspring issues get you on the inside. There are many posts on this subject if you want to spend some time studying them in a search of this site. Welcome to the board. Dan ps everything I just wrote pertains to my car, seems that everyone has different luck.
