Product Overview:

This isn’t your average Ford 9-inch third member case. The Extreme Duty 3.250" Nodular Iron Third Member Case is purpose-built for high-torque, high-impact applications where failure isn’t an option. Featuring a larger 3.250-inch bearing journal, this case supports 35-spline differentials and brings serious reinforcement with added ribbing, 5/8" bolts, and forged caps. Its nodular iron construction makes it far more durable than standard cast iron, and it’s rated to handle up to 1200HP. Whether you’re building a race car, rock crawler, or extreme trail rig, this is the foundation that can handle the load—and then some.
