    Craft Differentals have done thousands of diff conversion including all of our crew in SFCC. A new 3" drive shaft is a good idea as you can fit rugged uni joints...All up about 3K as a ball park...

    ...Yes Borg Warner, Add another 2K for the Kaaz clutch pack LSD...Prices vary for all these sorts of mods and if you know someone in the game, that helps too of course...

    ...That is not true as we both have had much success and many grins, so if it stuffs up it's on you[;^)][:I]...Do it right first time, there is a cost for that...Though you will be happy
