Yes you are both right but if your looking for a slight upgrade, esp if you have a non posi drum rear currently for 150-250 bucks for EVERYTHING to swap over a stock 9 bolt to hold you 6 months to a year until you can afford a built rear sounds like the best way to go if you really cant wait.

If you want this to be the last rear you put in the car no a 9 bolt isnt the way to go, like tim said their is almost no aftermarket parts available but it has it advantages for the low cost.

& beefing up a 10 bolt to hold 450 hp costs 3/4 of a built 12 bolt, which the 10 bolt will only handle 450 IF THAT.

Either way if your rear is fine def do as your planning on and hold out until the fund are their for a good rear that will last.
