IMHO
That seems like a lot of wasted effort for a 128. You will no longer have an OEM driveshaft and then you will have a bitch of a time getting the driveshaft off if need be. There are tons of 328 diffs out there to purchase to prep for a lsd with 3.64. Have you verified the outside diameter of both driveshafts?

I’m just waiting to get the extra cash to put mine in. For the time being the 3.73 is in.
