Ford nine inch detroit locker with Strange engineering case and daytona pinion support

 OEM Ford nine inch case and Strange Engineering case. Strange case has more ribs and thicker casting. Roger wanted a case that took the bigger carrier bearings for use with 35 spline axles.

                                                       Ford inner bearing support

Strange case is thicker on the inner bearing support area

 For use with a Detroit Locker a little trimming is needed for clearance. This case was really made for use with a spool and not a differential.

                                        Ground enough away so the locker clears

The lower pinion support is a Daytona from Ford racing parts. We did not use a crush sleeve and instead a shim pack to set bearing preload. Did not get a picture of the shim pack setup.
