After a really long day yesterday the Moser 9 inch is in the car. Ran into a couple little issues but not too big of a deal.
1. When I went to pick up the 9in I noticed right away that it had the LT1 backing plates on it and not ls1s. So we had to take my 7.5 apart and then take the axles out of the 9in and luckily my other buddy Tom had a nice bearing press at his house. So we had to drive a 1/2hr each way to do that. I was a little pissed considering he told me it would be all set for me to bolt right in.
2. The axles werent machined for the reluctor rings so, no more ABS. Not a big deal as the car only gets driven on weekends and nice weather.
3. Once it was all done I went to move the car and heard a grinding noise like my calipers were hitting the wheels. Turns out that where we mounted the e-brake cable was too far down in the last hole. So we had jack the car back up in the rain and unbolt the lcas and move the bracket up and bolt it back together.
Other than that stuff, it fit really well and didnt need any clearancing.
