differential question...

when doing a t2 conversion, and changing out the rear end, most people say you need the whole rear subframe from a t2 to put into an NA FC. can u just change the differential? just taking this t2 diff http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...e=STRK:MESE:IT and swapping it out the NA diff? mine is a gxl 86. thanks for your help, RJ

I'm pretty sure you need the diff and half-shafts from the TII rear.

yep, thats all you need, diff and axles, but depending on what model NA fc you have, the turbo brakes might be bigger, but they are not needed do do the swap. if your running a TII trans then all you need is a TII driveshaft if your running an NA trans youll have to have a custom one made

No, you need the Diff as well as the rear Axles. Dont forget you will also need the T2 driveshaft, tranny, starter, flywheel, clutch, etc.
