    Good video! I’m doing the swap as well but have to figure out the brackets! Hendrix is the only one that makes them and he won’t sell them separately. Kinda sucks but It is what it is!

      I’ve seen a few guys online make their own but after have to buy the DS and axles separately they didn’t save much. Hopefully no matter what route you choose it works out for you

    Did you align the rear cradle properly after dropping it out? I know that will throw off the rear diff mounting points like you had happen.

      @@delagto_5340 felt more responsive. Old one has a rubber bushing at the pumpkin that i guess gives it some play. This is metal on metal.. I also changed the clutch(spec stage 2.5) and fly wheel at the same time. So I'll say the harder biting clutch and solid shaft definitely give it a little extra go

      The stock GTO diff was never intended for high HP. They came in cars with V6's in Australia, however you can modify them to hold up but for my car because Im drag racing I made the switch
