i have a moser spool, and axles, c-clip elimnator kit and had no probs running a 10 bolt at the strip with slicks. a 12 bolt or 9" for trird gens is going to cost 2000+ . moser everything will cost abot 500 to 600 . i got this stuff while i was running a 468 bbc with 150 nos. and never broke it so i think it will hold up with mods.

I think you'd be lucky if it survived, but your call.
as I like to preach:
solid pinion spacer, axle girdle, weld tubes, main cap studs.
