THIS - don't even mess with C-clip eliminators. Use the Ford Housing ends with GM bolt pattern - that is the correct Moser #, and then get axles from them too. I speak from experience here. I welded my tubes to the housing, narrowed the rear 2", used the Moser 7950 ends and Moser axles with a Moser diff cover/girdle with a Detroit trutrac. Didn't break a sweat taking 600hp. Now it's backing an 800hp Foxwell 532" motor, a modified TKO600 and RAM 10.5" dual disc clutch. I'll report back if anything breaks
