Smile Which rear ends with discs fit 13" wheels?

I have an '86 NA 13b and trans in an Austin Healey Sprite. I need a stronger rear end. The AH unit break under much less HP. Which LSD live axle RX-7 rears would give me disc brakes that will fit inside 13" wheels? The rear will have to be narrowed. Also interested in any advice on rear suspension for this set up.

For suspension, how much room back there for a 3 link setup and equal length watts link?

No experience with a Watts link set up. Was thinking of 5 link with a panhard.
