Looks good but what rear end are you planning on running?

im going to put in a 740 axle, its 10 cm wider then the stock 240.. and i have the LSD from a 245 that im going to use. But ill buy a 120nm r-sport kit and do a complete overhaul..

Interesting. Is that a bolt in or do you have to rebracket?
