DSE Ford 9-Inch S-Series Center Section - 3.70 Ratio - 31-Spline Eaton TrueTrac - 1350 Yoke - 90-30020
Put together a serious Ford 9-inch rear end with the Detroit Speed 90-30020 S-Series Center Section. Designed as a performance street gear package, this assembled third member combines a 3.70 gear ratio with a 31-spline Eaton TrueTrac differential and 1350 yoke. The 3.70 final-drive ratio gives performance street, restomod and Pro Touring builds a strong gearing option, while the gear-driven TrueTrac helps put power to both rear tires without relying on conventional friction clutch packs.
Detroit Speed builds the 90-30020 around a nodular iron S-Series case and equips it with an aluminum Daytona pinion support, premium ring and pinion, TIMKEN bearings and a DSE solid pinion preload spacer. ARP pinion-support bolts and safety-wired ARP ring-gear bolts provide premium fastening hardware, while the 1350 yoke includes a U-bolt kit for the driveline connection. Detroit Speed individually inspects and hand deburrs the components used in its rear gear assemblies as part of its quality-control process. This S-Series configuration does not offer an oil-pump option.
