Oh, I welded up a support bar that I welded and bolted to the remaining ppf frame. Otherwise the pinion crawl would have destroyed it immediately.

And I'm pretty sure that bar the only reason the diff didn't tear itself out of the car entirely.

I've been hibernating, but hopefully I'll get back to the car in the next month or two.

Figured I would post a pic of the welded up diff ears and reinforcement on the car, though.




Also, there is a bit of rod knock, so I picked up a 1995 F150 302 for $400 to replace the short block. I have video of the engine running before it was pulled and it sounds great.
