Congrats Mikey!! I think a 9" is the best thing you can do to enhance the feel of the rear 
I know what you mean there, it's just solid feeling.
I can keep up wth you guys in the 79 now that I added the 3" exhaust.... NOT
but maybe some day I'll get my 99 back together

I got to drive my car today. 
Just around the neighborhood though. I needed to test the brake system, checking for leaks, pedal pressure etc. The car has ALOT more traction now. Those LCA relocation brackets have worked miracles. Used to be able to breath on the gas and turn the tires. Not anymore lol... Here's a few things I noticed during my short drive with the t-tops off:
-I really miss driving my car!!
-I need new power window motors so I can roll down the windows. LOL...
-Detroit Lockers are obnoxious, but kinda cool at the same time. The popping/clicking around corners turns peoples heads like they're saying... wtf?
-I need to re-bleed my clutch master cylinder hydraulics. F*(kin thing sticks to the floor when shifing quickly.
-The QP rearend feels very solid. Hard to describe, but it just has a feel of being "indestructo"... Very planted and quiet.
-Gears turned out pretty quiet too. I'm surprised being they're used gears. A little bit of whine on decel, but nothing major.
-I'm really diggin' the 3.89 gears. Did a 2nd gear pull to redline down cascade parkway and let's just say it brought a very big smile to my face!!
-My car needs some serious drivability tuning now. Bucking along in 1st gear is not cool!!
-I need updated license tags (four years worth to be exact) and insurance!
-I can't seem to wipe this grin off my face!
That is all I can think of at the momentl.

ok guys I sent this to Blanco to see what he says maybe all you guys can give me some more info on it. It's a vid of that sound thats coming from my car, you just have to listen to it a couple of times. It's a knocking or a ticking noise that your looking for. http://www.fquick.com/videos/viewvideo.php?id=8345

when My rod bearing went, It was always there and didnt go away when the engine warmed up. It's hard to tell from the video but with as many miles as you have I would suggest getting a beater and pulling that engine.

Yours was loud Brandon, you can hear it in your vid fairly well pronounced. This one is hard to hear in the vid, but it is a tick. I might go listen in person when I get a chance.
I think he is going to change the oil and cut open the filter see if he's got any chunks
