That'd be the standard big bearing housing. The small bearing housings are kind of a rarety. Only reason I even know of them is that when i bought a bunch of stuff including a 9" narrowed ,with Mark Williams axles and spool  with nodular iron case,to just what i needed for a song long ago. I never knew till I went to get new axles while narrowing it further a few years later and bought a set of Summers axles and they wouldn't fit. Not only smaller bearings but smaller diameter shafts too. Same R&P tho! Never broke it in over 15 years and ranging from 500 HP early to over 900 for the last 5. The 9" for it's size is a real bullet proof unit(when using a nodular case that is ).

Oh yeah they are solid, especially the ones like in my 67' Camaro, Chromo fab 9 with ALL the goodies 35 spline axles Nodular center, Etc. That dam thing cost me a pretty penny! Never did finish the stinking car though! got it to a roller and then ran out of cash, once I got some more, I was into the dirt stuff and now it sits! LOL! Someday!

Sounds like a future pre runner use. Not the car but the goodies like that rear end.

LOL! Nah, it just needs a lil sheetmetal flooring and paint and then install the engine so, I have WAYY  too much in that car, the best of the best, top gun 4 link, Koni double adjustable Coil overs, aerospace components disk brakes front and rear, full mild DOM cage bumper to bumper, should pass 7.50 specs, chute on the back, totally re welded front camaro clip, yada, yada, like 30 grand worth of crap! I'll probably just sell it, even though its the car I met my wife in!

X-mas came and went :P
You guys hate the jeep diffs,
Unfortuneately Whith that Shiney new Boda came a payment book...Sorta looks like the 71 is going to have to get sold off to pay for a dumptruck :-[
and a couple of Boda payments...So the 327 will be leaving, in the truck
This leaves me with the 305...I know it's a sickly motor...But racing them in the stock,bomber and run what ya brung classes has taught me there is some power to be had reliably and on the cheap  ;D
The 350 will stay in the dumptruck...305 in a 1 ton pulling the Boda..... rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl
with that being said...
Now I wish I had some no torque converter power glides still laying around...
So as many NO BUDGET BUILDS.....THE COMPROMISES HAVE ALREADY STARTED

Those old bad mouthed powerglides are one tough unit! To think a trans that was thought to be about as big a POS there was at the time they came out has now been for 20 years or so one of the most used and preferred trannies in drag racing is almost unbelievable. All they take is a good set of kevlar clutches and a kevlar band along with a good front pump and you almost have to run the things without fluid to hurt them.

Oops ,forgot to mention replacing the stock cast iron clutch hub with a steel one. The only truly weak point in a glide was that clutch hub and shitty frictions.

Yup
Direct drive with a "GO valve"
weighs half as much as a turbo 350...Just as durable if not more...Plus you get to rev the hell out of the engine in 1st and be doing 60 mph no problem ;D

Only problem with a circleglide is that you lose the torque multiplication that the converter provides. Of course you get rid of the heat issue in return.
