The amount of money a rear differential will cost to replace is going to be many, many, many tanks of gas, unless you DIY from a parts car.

A loose carb will give you horrendous milage. With everything under the hood being perfect, you're not going to pass the 17mpg mark. If you drive 5,000 miles in the year...

5000 / 13 mpg = 384 gal gas
5000 / 17 mpg = 294 gal gas

You're talking 90 gallons of petrol, or under 200$ here on the east coast AND that's your maximum saving. Your milage may vary.
