why a Ford 9"?

okay, good to hear everyone's opinion on this. I understand choosing it for the price, availability, etc. in a budget build. but I've seen people build mopar stuff with money not being an issue and they choose the 9" almost every time. it almost seems like they think "the ring gear is bigger so it must be stronger!". but I think it's true to mopar form; not quite the biggest numbers, but a better design.


also, If i remember right, i think it was muscle car magazine or something like that did an article about drivetrains, and they said straight up the 8 3/4" was stronger. not to mention chevy put CHEAP clutches(or TC's in the case of an auto) behind their motors so you didn't blow your rear end or your tranny.
just my two cents, because I wouldn't know from experience, I just started driving...MOPARS!
