Hi all i know this may have already been covered somewhere, but i need some advice/information on which Diff to purchase. I have a 84 VH/SLE which originally had a 253 in it so i belive the diff is a single spinner Sailsbury 2:78 ratio (please correct me if i am wrong) i have since put a warmed up 308 in it with a Crane 286 cam, edelbrock performer manifold, slightly ported and polished, rebuilt and modified quaddy and a few other bits and pieces. So its time to get the diff sorted out and i was thinking a Borg Warner Lsd with 3:7 gears. I have phoned around a few places and they reckon the Borg is only good for a approx 300HP engine.
They recommended that if you (in the future) are going to do any more engine work eg stroker then the 9 inch LSD with 3:7 gears will be a lot tougher and last alot longer. Keep in mind that this car is my hobby and purely a weekend car, i dont drag it or thrash it, so what sort of set up would any of you recommend. For the 9" i was quoted around $2500 fitted and for the Borg $1400 -$1600, is the extra money spent on the 9" worth it?
Thanks in advance
