As an update, the gasket maker I used didn't work very well. The differential leaks. I'm going to purchase the differential case gasket and install it, hopefully cure the leak. If anyone knows of a quality gasket maker product that works well in this scenario, or if I need to put a sealer on the new gasket, please share, I'd appreciate it. I'm sure the neighbors are not happy with "Dawg" peeing on their driveway.

Also an update...Max speed recorded so far is 26 mph with stock tire size and no lift. I was running around 4,000 rpm I think. Engine is begging to go more...I feel like its at half throttle, so not letting anyone else drive the thing yet. It gets to full speed so quickly that it would be easy to not pay attention and push it up in the 5,000 rpm range or more in a matter of seconds. I am definitely thinking that the governor will be going back on the engine...
