Someone asked - 
<<Is it possible to tell what kind of diff it is,>>

I have never tried this, but I saw a tip to figure this out one time.  So
here goes -  Mark your tire with a chalk mark so that you will be able to
determine when it has made one revolution.

Then, take a piece of string and measure the circumferance of your drive
shaft.  Then carfully, tape a string to the drive shaft and while pushing the
car forward, allow the string to "wind up" on the drive shaft.  Measure how
much string wound up.  If it is 4.11 times the diameter then your dif is a
4.11 - etc.

How you would do this with the low clearances on an LBC I'll leave up to you.
Might have to take the tunnel off, our do it jacked up.
