Old diff out. New Moser 9" in with extended length UMI upper and lower control arms. Old 2.5" exhaust out. RPM 4L80E test fit and WOW!!! fits pretty well, a little massage here and there it will fit just fine. The new 3" exhaust should fit really nice with the tubular 4L80E crossmember.

RPM 4L80E is in and after a little tunnel work fit is perfect. All the blower and accessories removed and looks like we have some extra work to install the A/C. New LSX LS7 heads are next as soon as the porting is done.

You are officially my new best friend!
Good luck on the build, the car definitely looks like a hell of a beast. I'm building my stroker for mine as we speak. I'm about 40ci short of you though lol.
