is it not repackageable into a medium case e30 diff? Assuming you could be bothered!

Also the ratio is likely to be unusable with an E30 overdrive gearbox.

At the moment I think ive got a 320 diff but the owner before me put in a hi comp 325 engine will this cause higher revs when crusing ? Will be on the look out for a lsd soon what ratio will I need there seems to be a few.
