ok. thanks. well, i wasnt going to be all too picky about the ratio. i would settle for either a 3.55 or 3.73 but it HAS to be a limited slip. thats one thing i wont compromise on even if it means going with a 8.8" rear end. my little 2wd need as much help as it can get. and i'll be sure to get the drums and have the driveshaft shortened. thanks for all the help. i should be going to the junkyard early next week.

i'll be like a kid in a candy shop. lol
