If you have any quesitons/need any help finding parts let me know. I have a Rover swap thats been going on way to long.

Thanks! From what I've read, the stock rearend can handle up to 200hp safely. Plus the gearing is ideal for the KA. The MG has a 3.9 gears and the stock 240sx came with 4.0 gears. Your 72 B sick by the way. I remember coming across that on here when I picked up my B. Any pics of your 79 on here?

He could have at least reinforced it.

The CB B is actually my dads, mine isn't nearly as nice.
Here's a pic of the bay, I'm still waiting on a rear end housing.
