well..... fuck
so i guess every wonky swap needs its problems. Mine turns out to be that i need to shorten the driveshaft...
The car was occasionally making a rattle / grinding noise. So i went underneath to take a look. The shroud thing was lightly grinding at the tail housing because the driveshaft is too long and slides all the way it possibly can. This also mean i had to pry rather hard to get the shaft off the pinion flange and its doesnt really like going back on... (crap!)
Since the diff was already leaking oil in a nice circle, and I was discussing doing a four link with another axle, I think this is the cue that it is time to make that happen.
