I have small bearing 9" with 3.00 gears, an open diff and 28 spline
axles. Its under my 66 stang, I dont have a high horsepower engine but
I really need to get some traction. But I was wondering how strong the
small bearing housings are? Would be a waste to put money into to this
housing?

I say it's tough enough,put a limited slip in it and minimum 3.50 (ish)
gears. 28's are plenty strong for the street/limited strip action. 2
black marks are definately more impressive

The weak link in a stock 9" is the LS unit. Spend the money for an after
market LS or a locker.
