Heck yeah, blazing speed progress! I have a mild 300SDL with a 603 and am planning on one day putting a 606 in there, so this thread will prove most helpful.

I also have a 722.6 sitting in the garage waiting for me to have some time to put it in. Good to know the stock flex disc works perfectly. 
Do you have any concerns about the low 2.46 LSD? With the overdive, your rpms are going to be super low. I got the "small" 722.6 hoping the smaller first and second gear would help with off line performance. Will be interested to see how it works for you, if I need to upgrade to a bigger rear axle I may look for a ....350SDL model? Perhaps we will need to talk about that if you don't need your old one.

Pretty much nobody mods these 126s but that front bumper is gold for putting in an intercooler. Right now I have a 27x9 stuffed in there with no problem. I just had to grind off maybe half an inch of the plastic on the inside. I could probably get up to a 27x12 without it sticking out from the top or bottom too much. Consider boring out the two holes in the engine bay that have a rubber part in them, they are good routes for IC piping.
