You can break either with a 289 & top loader.

Mate its got something to do with twice as many spiders means each gear is not as heavily loaded (and therefore able to transmit more!) or something like this. I also understand the counter argument to this being, in order to run more spiders . you need a couple of extra holes in the carrier housing for the spider shafts to mount in . meaning the carrier is weakened due to the extra holes. Sketchy, but something along these lines!

I know my way around 9 Inches. If you're talking about them - one of the most sought after heads is/was the factory Traction Lok 4 Spider item . but hook this up to something with power and hook - and you'll end up with a broken arse end. There is a steel hat version (aftermarket) of the Traction Lok that would seem better but i have no working knowledge of how well they actually fare. But why would you - there are plenty of better LSD options available for the big Ford from the aftermarket.
