Hi John Do your self a favor and get swracecars.com a call. They sell a rear brace kit for big and small 9" rearends. Pull the rearend drain it and let them add the bracing to it. You can buy a bottom brace also. Have the inside and out side welded at the cracks, drill 1/8 inch holes to stop the cracks. You will never have a cracking problem again with the housing. If you want to go stronger and lighter check out Currie engineering. They make a custom rear that are stronger. The latter 9" rears don't have the good metal the older ones had. There is a lite duty and heavy duty 9" rear. If you are buying one look for one out of a truck F250 The center housing where stronger or a sationwagon full size with a big block. Hope this helps Rick Lake
