all good comments, Thanks.
Currently, the car is a stock suspension 82, with stock gearing. The thought was to upgrade to an iron diff, since they came with 3.55:1 ratio.
So for parts, we've got the diff and the axles and flanges from a 79.
We'll need a cross member, struts and strut mounts.
I'll need to well in a bracket to mount some of this stuff. and maybe massage the iron diff to bolt to the batwing?
Or, just get the stock diff built with better parts, and a new gear ratio...??
