The deed is done....
Just ordered the 3.70 with the limited slip option. Biting the bullet on the cost. Also the speedometer reducer for 225/75R16 wheels/tires. All this based on the responses all of you provided.
Told to use blue locktite and 100 ft lbs plus on the nuts. Going with the standard cover. Put 60W90 non-synthetic lube in it for the first 1000-2000 miles. It might be a bit noisy at first. Change the lube to 60W90 synthetic without additives after that. May bump-up the timing a couple degrees.
Comments appreciated...

Mickey,
I think you'll like it. The pain of spending all that money will fade the first time you drive it and the first time it keeps you from getting stuck, you'll think it is priceless.
