I love that generation LGT body style... it's really one of the last hold-outs of the wedge design when the rest of the world was going all jellybean. Makes me miss my SVX every time I see your car.

What's wrong with the 4.11? Just looking for some better mileage out of the 3.90? Personally, I'd rather have the 4.11 w/ a LSD than have to swap a gearbox/read-end.
Yeah, the gear ratio itself is nicer. But, the stock 3.9 tranny has a push clutch w/hydro similar to the WRX instead of the pull cable that's on there now. It's a much better feel. Part of it is that I need to install an uprated clutch at this point, and if I'm going to have the tranny out, I'll just put the stocker back in (assuming Kevin reassembled it correctly ). I have both 3.9 and 4.11 LSD rear ends.

And yeah, it's nice to have the engine/management/hardware all figured out.
