yes the gear it self is as good or better then a 12 the tubes on ether the 12 or the 10 can twist but with all the stuff glenn said it could hold up i have seen it done but i just went 9inch myself the N case is nice you can get way with a stock case and small pin bearing suport if you not going nuts as long as it is set up right i never have one blow the case up but when you start making big power it will wear the gear out fast .the stock N case is nice there is better . i never used a crush sleeve on all the fords i did i allways used a shim the cases that i like the best in iron is the Hot rod wheel case HRW better then others out there that i have set upIrish Diplomacy ..the ability to tell someone to go to Hell ,,So that they will look forward to to the trip

Thanks Pat I will, After getting home from the machine shop yesterday and the questions and help i got about my rear end, i decided to pull the cover off, and I was pissed.. the pinion gear clim's up the ring gear before it moves it around its sloppy, there are heavy scars on both ring and pinion and more scars on the spider gears and the center pin looks like it was hand ground with a die grinder dam neart in 1/2. So I am out looking in the sites today for a bolt in 12 bolt with 4:56's. Any suggestions?

Will it bolt in easy or will I have to make several modifications? I have ladder bars and stock spring mounts.
