Thanks Gabbyp, I will consider all you said. From what I hear, the ford 9 inch is similar to the chevy 350 engine (both are the best of the economical world). You say you are thinking of upgrading to the 8.8" Ford with disc brakes. Is the 8.8" better than the 9". The rear of my truck have a Nova 2.73. The rear is too short and having problems with the back space.Thanks again
