I have one from Newmans with 3.73s. in my 89. I bought the whole batwing, center section, etc. Yes, there is one for sale now in FS section. Go snag it!! I believe the guy retired and sold everything he had at that point. Def. do not hear about their stuff much.

Did you do any other upgrades when you did that, have you broken stock halfshafts/spindles/U Joints at your power level?
