- I changed direction on the reared of the 1963 Buick Special Super Stocker and chose the road less traveled. Enter the 9.3 Pontiac / Olds Rearend. She's a real heavy weight that stands alone in a field of rear differentials with exception of the Dana 60.
I have 13 Pontiac Olds 9.3 rearends here.
You are going to Love it, Bulletproof !
The hot rod is looking good sweet little unit you are doing a great job . Bud you look like you need a couple days to rest . waiting patiently for the next installment
G'evening ☕☕ 😀 . Not only am I a Buick Guy I'm a die-hard skateboard kid at heart 🙃 . In terms of skateboard wheels the durometer rating ie: 85a, 92a, 95a, 98a etc. Refers to the hardness of the rubber compound the wheels are made of. In terms of a bushing I would recommend 95a durometer compound. It's a perfect middle-of-the-road compound, not too soft yet not too hard and still offers a little flexibility to it and will last forever. I had some powell-peralta 95a mini rat bones Wheels that I bought new in like 1985 and I used them for a solid 20-22 years before I gave them to a little brother and he's still using them on his skateboard today although they're 1/2 the original diameter they used to be 😋 ..
Love it! Can't beat period correct
I had a '63 Catalina 421, all I remember is how heavy that 3:90 Posi center was to put in by yourself.
It's the Factory Rearend in my 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix 455 520 Hp, 9.3 Posi 3.23 gears.
You Wont break it !
Will take up to 1000 + Hp Stock.
Should upgrade to Aftermarket axles at 1000. But guys have done 1000 Hp on stock Pontiac Olds 9.3 axle shafts !
Mark Williams has Pontiac 9.3 Parts along with Brad, was his business he retired sold it, Fabcraft Engineering.
Parts are pricey but so is a Pro Mod Ford 9 inch.
Mark Williams and Moser Engineering both started thier Business with Pontiac Olds 9.3.
Used well into the 1980s in drag cars here in Illinois.
A while back I traded for a Vintage Fiat Topolino altered and it had that rear end in it and it actually had Square spider gears!!
Very cool indeed!
Personally I blame squirrels......
And the discarded dregs of a half cut 🥝 Fruit. That is a constant problem with border control down in these here parts..
@@deanstevenson6527 amen .... I think
GM Research had the best mechanical and proving ground Suspension engineering depth than anyone in the world.Y and A body hard points were well sorted out. Like the Fox body, bushing compliance has to remain, so make sure the Shores A value isn't high
I knew from the caption it was going to be a 57-64 BOP
Strange Engineering in Illinois another supplier of Pontiac Oldsmobile 9.3 diff parts.
A bit of 21st century technology can help out with that kind of bushings. I 3D printed leaf spring bushings for a car that doesn't have aftermarket support. I used TPU(thermoplastic polyurethate) with 95A hardness. Haven't driven the car long enough yet to say for sure that these will hold up but they are a lot stiffer than OE rubber ones.
Shit yeah, I remember that! Had one in my 1953 Ford Coupe running 1957 J2 Olds with 1955 dual-range hydro! That bitch won so many street races against those Chevy novas!😂😂😂
Looks like a cross between a truck arm and lower control arm
Love the old school speed parts. 😎
So you're not going to mini tub the 63 for giant meats? You may want to mock it up for wide tires, you may want to make the rear a little narrower than stock so you can get normal offset wheels.
No tubs, it has to have the stock wheel wells.
@@mr.roddersneighborhood2740 You could split the OE wheel wells and add a couple inches.
IS SIMILAR YEARS OF CADILLAC AND BUICK THE SAME?
No, this is a 63 special, a compact car from that era.
Look up rat rod bob he makes all his bushings for his builds he shows how he does it in his videos
I’ll check him out!
