If you missed us at the 2025 PRI Show, don’t worry – our friends over at FordMuscle.com stopped by the booth to get the full scoop on the latest hardware coming out of our Indiana facility.
In his recent feature covering PRI 2025, veteran automotive journalist Steve Turner dives deep into the engineering behind our lineup of stamped 9-inch housings and declares them “Ready For Any Build” – and we agree! Whether you are restoring a classic pony car or building a high-horsepower dragster, we’ll break down exactly why our new stamped housings are the solid foundation your build deserves.
A Housing For Every Horsepower Level
The key takeaway for Ford Muscle was the versatility of our lineup. As our Jeff Anderson explained, we aren’t just offering a “one-size-fits-all” solution. We’ve developed three distinct tiers of durability to match your specific needs:
- Standard Duty: Perfect for street-driven performance cars, featuring a classic stamped design that fits right at home under a standard restoration with a 3-inch tube and a 3/16- or 1/4-inch wall – available in a notchback or a round back.
- Heavy Duty: Steps up the material thickness, allowing a 3-inch tube for those weekend warriors running sticky tires and higher horsepower.
- Extreme Duty: The big daddy. Built with 1/4-inch thick steel and a relaxed radius, this housing is designed for severe-duty competition and can accept up to 3 ¼-inch tubes.
The MUSCLE PAK Connection
While the housings are a work of art on their own, they are also the backbone of our legendary MUSCLE PAKS.
As Steve noted, we don’t just stamp a housing and send you on your way. We offer every component needed to turn that housing into a complete, bolt-in rear end – axles, differentials, gears, and brakes. When you order a MUSCLE PAK, you are getting this American-made geometry pre-assembled and ready to install.
Why It Matters
The best part? Ford Muscle highlighted something we are incredibly proud of: We make it all here.
“We have full control over all of our product line… whether it’s our axles that are forged less than a mile from our factory, or our own heat-treating in-house.”
– Jeff Anderson, Moser Engineering
That in-house control is how we maintain our industry-leading two-day turnaround on most custom orders.
