I was reading the new MM (the only rag that acknoledges the II) and

when I read that Randy's ring and Pinion makes a limited slip unit for the 8", I got a warm feeling


later in the book I was looking at the Heidt's add and they sell II motor mounts, for $75 A PAIR with replacement pads for $45r a pair, I wept

Audburn Gear makes a Limited Slip for the 8" and has for several years. Not a cheap unit though. Detroit Locker makes a locker unit for it too. Though the best choice for the rear gear challenged is Lock Rights mini locker that replaces the spider gears and doesn't warrant removal of the ring and pinion at all.
I'd be interested in seeing that M&F ad too!

I talked with 2 gentlemen there. the first guy didn't really know what i was talking about and the second guy said the don't have stock replacements.

man i wish they did, it would be a could time to put them in since tranny and headers are out of the car right now.

i will try them again on monday and see if i get a different answer.
