For a myriad of personal reasons the project was delayed but is now back in full steam progress and should be complete by Christmas.

The Detroit Locker differential has been totally rebuilt although I did opt for 3.0 gears rather than the stock 3.91.  I know :o)

Here's a You Tube video of the engine being fired up for the first time and then run on the Dyno.

The project should move quickly so stay tuned.
