Opinion on a Hot Rod site I also frequent is that the same diffs were used in V6/V8, only the ratios are different for sedans/wagons etc, and yes, I will be looking for a LSD.

So you must not mind not having deep dish wheels on the rear.

You have got me on this one. I LOVE the deep dish look.

Also connected with rear ends, is decision on suspension.

Because I started this build 8 years ago, I have most of the parts. Stripped a rusted out LX for the front and rear ends, bought most of the other bits over a couple of years, everything straight out of the old DRB manual. So I have Kings springs, Monroe shocks etc. Any changes I make now will mean more $$$$, or, I can use what I have to get it registered, then change things a bit at a time later.
I plan on registering it unpainted (I really like swimming pool blue
)and running it around for a while anyway, it is really the wheel choice that is the biggest cost if I get it wrong.
