I bought one roughly 15 years ago, they even shortened it a bit for me, if you are logged in, there should be some pics of it in the “best of posts” under the Caveman project.
Still drive the car occasionally.
I did extend the upper housing arm ears but burnouts and hard launches where solid either way.
I also beefed up all the rear arm car body ear mounts so they wouldn’t get ripped out with hard use.
Only issue I have that has nothing to do with the housing, is with the noisy 9 inch gear set bought from jegs long ago, I will likely replace the gear set with a polished and carefully set up unit that I hope will quiet things down.
Been told that 4 link housings also tend to resonate gear noise especially with heim or the poly bushings that I am using, rubber bushings could help but I won’t changing that.
Auto weld is a legitimate business.

I got my parts yesterday 2/6/24 the 9 inch differential housing and the center bracket
I'll post the pictures tomorrow waiting for the ground to dry up. Been raining like hell here not used to that.
