Things Change.. Butters is now getting a 392

I've been wanting to switch to a 3.55 and get rid of the slipping cone type sure grip. Based on cost alone, this is sure looking like an attractive option. Did you grab the u-joint flange off the driveshaft while you were at the junkyard?

I did grab it.. Just sawzalled the driveshaft off and left it attached. I'll take all of my pieces to Chuck Paterson and have him make me something up. He used to have a shop in Indy and built Nascar driveshafts. He's just a few miles from me now.. One of the few places that I don't have to drive an hour or more for.

I did see a few 3.55s but they were open diff. Most common is 3.73 LSD.. saw one 4.10 LSD. But, it's a few hundred bucks o change gears and another hundy to add new diff bearings, shims seals etc. I have a buddy that's good with gears.. so I won't be doing it lol. Hate gears... Hate Hate Hate
