I thought long about going that way. Gear changes are as simple as changing the pumpkin out (or so I've heard)..and there is a ton of stuff out there for them.

There's huge aftermarket support for the 9" and more gear ratios & options are available. I'm running a Chris Alston Fab 9 rear in my 69 Elky with Moser 31 spline axles,Detroit Locker diff,Motive Gear 4.11 gearset,and Baer 12" disc brakes.
