Stock Differential?

I can't pull any casting #'s off my differential, but if it is original, (Eng and Tranny aren't) would my truck accelerate like a mother, and burn rubber with the 320 ft-lbs of torque and 210 hp of a 302? Is it likely a differential swap happened with the rest of the swap, or would you think it stayed in?

Digging the pink?

The stock differential had some very low gearing...lots of bottom end with no top end.

Pull the cover and count the teeth on the ring gear. I doesn't take long and you never know what else you will see in there.

What is wrong with my pink. I think that is what happens when I don't have my dinner on time...

I don't know - I think it gives the forum a sorta flair - like Victoria's Secret
