I forgot about that thread shortsguy1!

@billva if you can fit the original differential (3.07) / get one that has a similar final drive ratio I'd give that a go first and see how you get on. You might find in time that you want something different anyway - these kind of modifications give you a sense of freedom that you might not have if you were playing with a more stock vehicle. There's plenty of time for choice and tuning - first step has got be getting it all rolling along hasn't it?

What ever you decide to do please keep us all updated with your progress - I for one am a fan of American pick ups.
