Today we prepare our Ford 9 Inch Rear Third member aka Center Section with case from Speedmaster, gears from Motive Gear, and Spool from Moser Engineering. We go through the process of setting bearing preload, gear mesh, and backlash of the gear set. This is the rear that will go into the Twin Turbo LS powered 1974 Chevrolet Nova that we are preparing for the No Name Nationals which is taking place at Jeffer's Motorsports Park in September.
Thanks for watching!!
