upgrade wagon stock diff to l.s.d. any advice?

[bluewagon88]

i know that the mountings on the wagon diff is different to the sedan diff, and i'm sure an l.s.d for a wagon would be hard to find, does anyone know if you can just upgrade all of the internals of a wagon diff with l.s.d parts? i've been told that it can be done

My son took the diff from a VN wagon and put it on his VL sedan

does anyone else know....

are the diff housings any different between sedan open wheeler and the turbo l.s.d diff? coz the only difference between sedan and wagon is the positon of the mountings. surely there is some aftermarket l.s.d diff centres or shafts that'll fit straight in....

the turbo and v8 diff center has 28 splines instead of 25, both will fit in the standard diff housing, you can put the 28spline center in and replace the axels or just get a 25 spline lsd center (about 600 bucks) but the best advice i could give you is get a spool

cheers! thats awesome news! now i don't have to waste months searchig for something that i already have ( the wagon housing ) is there anything else that i'll need to strengthen, ie tailshaft, uni joint etc? i want to build up a fairly hypo engine (500+ hp) and i don't wanna be replacing drivelines every month
thanks
