Which differential for a scratchbuild?

[LMH]

I suppose that mid 90's Jag could be used but I don't know anything about them. I'm always looking to copy what was original, so beyond that, I can't advise very well.

I did use a 2003 aluminum Mustang Cobra 8.8" in my Hurricane. Nice differential and strong. Just change the rear cover to one that's a lot stronger if you go that route. The production cover is the weak point on that one.

I'm thinking based on affordability and my half-butt accuracy requirements, the XJ6 diff is the way to go. Now to find the bracket you speak of.

I talked to David Kirkham tonight, and their differentials are now $6k new, and $5k rebuilt, and come with diff only.
