Found an LSD on my parts rack. Also ordered a 3.73 ring and pinion, already have 489 case and a center section rebuild kit. I think the LSD is an Auburn "Pro-Series" but I'm not sure, it's 30 spline and an 8.75 ring slips right on it.

I've used a dial indicator to set backlash like my first few times and from there have set it up by feel. Never had an issue. I have a friend whose a local old school drag race legend here who even sets backlash up at zero and lets it wear in the lash on break in. He's probably 85 or so now and has been doing it longer than I've been alive. He calls it a "loose zero". lol
Well like I always say, what I know fits on the head of pin with room left over. lolI've never messed with differentials before so I don't know what I don't know, you know? I'll try again tomorrow before work.
I totally missed the knock sensor part. What sensor is that and which ECU? Looks like you mounted it to the magnum motor mount boss? Nice!I’ve been putting in some time whenever I get some, down a guy at work so lots of overtime is cutting in on the project.
ECU is installed, along with a data port in the dash. Battery cutoff switch in the bumper and another in the dash. Knock sensors installed and wired. Did some welding on the compressor housing and radiator. Made a coil harness. Got the battery and trunk wiring panel made. Along with the fan and alternator wiring. Still have to pull the pan and install the oil pump. I’m hoping to have this motor fired up sooner rather than later.

You might find that they work too well. It’s very hard (at least in my limited experience) to filter out the actual frequency of knock and pinpoint it. False knock retard is a real thing.
I really like the way you bent those down bars and tied them to the frame. I’m stealing…err…borrowing that idea.I got the radiator lower supports tacked in place which puts the radiator where I want it. Also made the upper and lower coolant hoses and mocked up the fans and shroud.

Steal away! I will add that the total structure isn’t done though, I’ll be adding a removable cross brace and probably something that ties into the upper shock mounts.I really like the way you bent those down bars and tied them to the frame. I’m stealing…err…borrowing that idea.
