Included Standard Features

		Currie Centurion Housing - Classic notchback looks in a new, high-strength, American-made housing that features 3-inch diameter axle tubes and CNC machined face flange for a flat leak-free seal - all joined together with strong, attractive welds
		Drain Plug - This standard feature makes routine maintenance so much easier - no more removing the brakes, axles, and the third member for a simple oil change
		Currie Sportsman Case - New nodular iron gear case with Daytona big bearing pinion support and 1350 yoke is the perfect foundation for a performance restomod build - no used or reconditioned parts here!
		Timken Bearings - High-quality Timken bearings and performance seals are used throughout to provide a long, trouble-free service life
		Suspension Brackets - Heavy-duty laser cut 3-link brackets are installed on the housing to match the stock OE locations and fitment for a direct bolt-in fit
		Billet Housing Ends - Currie billet late model Ford Torino large bearing housing ends are CNC machined for accuracy and feature provisions for internal or external axle oil seals
		Alloy Axles - Currie Performance 31-spline 1541 alloy axles with tapered axle bearings feature vehicle correct bolt pattern and wheel studs
		Bearing Retainers - Full-circle heavy-duty retainers assure positive bearing retention and full seal engagement for a long, trouble, and leak-free service life. *Select aftermarket brake kits require the use of proprietary bearing retainers
		Assembly - Every rear end is fully assembled in-house by our skilled professionals and shipped ready to install

Options To Complete The Build

		Gear Ratio – Select from a wide range of ratios. Currie uses only the highest quality Motive Gear Performance® series (Orange box) ring and pinion sets in our 9-inch crate rear ends
		Differential - Select the differential type that meets your traction needs, including standard open, helical gear or clutch-style limited-slip, automatic or selectable locking differential or steel spool
		Brake Package - Select from a range of brake options from classic 11-inch drums to 14-inch Baer and Wilwood disk brakes that are capable of meeting any performance requirement
		REM® Isotropic Polishing - Removes surface imperfections created during the gear manufacturing process. Polishing eliminates the need for a break-in period, decreases friction, reduces operating temps, and removes stress risers. Polishing helps gears last longer and run quieter
		Powder Coat - Optional powder coat finish adds long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion to keep your rear-end looking its best

NOTES:

Lubrication Requirements - 9-inch rear ends use a high-offset hypoid gear design requiring severe duty gear oil with API GL-6 rating. Use of oil not meeting the GL-6 rating will damage the gears and bearings and void the Currie Warranty

Aftermarket Brakes - Currie crate rear ends conform to the ABCS (Aftermarket Brake Configuration Standard). This allows brake kits that use this standard to easily be changed or upgraded without modifying the housing or axles. ABCS brakes use a 2.5-inch brake space with late-model big-bearing Ford housing ends and a 2.80 center hole in the drum or rotor

Wheel Studs - Currie crate rear ends use standardized-shank Currie Enterprises wheel studs that allow the following wheel studs to be interchangeable in the axles, without drilling: 12mm, 7/16, 1/2, and 1/2 x 3-inch competition
