Howdy folks, today on my travels I found a galaxie 9" for sale in PERTH. At this stage it's a housing only, but they will build what you want with warrenty. Performance unlimited, Welshpool Rd Welshpool........ask for Dean, tell him I sent you as he'll try and get $450-500 out of you but I got him down to $400 + REBUILD, considering I paid $300 in '95.....plus $1150 in parts and fitting....I'll post the number in the morning when I find the darn thing ???

G'day
That is cheap. 18 years ago I paid nearly $3000 for a Galaxy diff. But it was setup with Fairlane diskd and was powdercoated.
That is still a bargain.

Hey Guys just a thought, would the early american chev sedans (ie 68, 69 impala,ect)have suitable diffs as well? cheers...johnno ;D
-
I have a chev diff in my van (12 bolt) but I couldn't tell you what it came out of
-
John thy would most likely be 12 bolt diffs and if they were the right width then oK. They have the HQ stud patten
-
Hey Hammers.....What are those 12 bolt diffs like for strength ? I know that most were behind the 327 or 400 ci v8s . Anywhere as strong as the favorite ford 9"?. cheers.....johnno ;D
-
John no problems they are tough enough all right. Not the same rep as 9inch but still pretty strong. The 9inch is easier to change being a "banjo" style thatn a 12 bolt "Salisbury".

G'day
The CFS of mine that did a million k's had a 12 bolt in it for most of that. Never had any trouble with it, never made any noise, never leaked.
My diff specialist said that the 12 bolt I in the van was from an Impala and is stronger than a 9". The only advantage of the 9" is that the centre can be changed easier.
I don't know the ratio, but the van had a 308 V8, T400, and 15'x9" alloys with low profile tyres. It went very well for a very long time.
