Ford 9 inch swap help
I am trying to build a drag c5 coupe. I think I am going to swap the IRS for a Ford 9 inch and want to know if anyone has done this before that could give me some pointers. Is there any kits to help you do it like brackets or do you need anything custom. Any help is good, Thanks Roger.

I have the Stock IRS, but I figured the 9 inch would hook/be more reliable. I am not making a stupid drag car, but I am thinking Nitrous Cam, 150 Shot, And a Turbo 400 with a transbrake. Is there a way that I can bolt a Turbo 400 up to the IRS?
