Yes the Quaife is not a plug and play, we had to grind the inner walls off the diff housing.

Hey

I can say I was running a 190mm pulley without injectors and my map was a bit extreme, and I rape my car like a toy.

I have used oem parts for the bottom , until we get a 5.7 litre block done,

But I will be running race heads and cams pics will come over the next week or so as this project should be finished soon.
