Finally got a coat of paint on the main brackets after the last round of mods. Since those were done, I bolted up the diff and turned the engine upright to get a better look at what the diff snout bracket will have to do to avoid the exhaust manifold..

Right bracket:

Left brackets and exhaust manifold:

Looking up the manifold outlet at the interference with the diff snout bracket:

And I finally popped the cover off the diff... looks like it had some water in it. I'm not sure how that happened, as it's been sealed the entire time I've had it.

I guess I'll learn how to rebuild a Dana 30.

It doesn't look like the diff snout is so much in the way as is the bracket.
