yes cost is a thing, but only to the point where i know i can refurb certain items myself (engine, front end, rear end) with some help in the machine work if needed. i have a parts connection that i can get most OE stuff for cost, or theres RockAuto or the catalouge parts guys such as Speedway, LMC etc.. of course we all have our limitations on things we a) havent done before., or b) have done and vowed to never do again

always good to come here or places like this to get the opinions of others who have done and experience these tribulations. Thx Again..keep it comin!
That’s pretty much what I went with. 10 bolt 8.5” limited slip out of a 76 TA. Only 1/2” different between backing plates from the original. Had zero issues getting it to fit.
