grannysspeedshop.com might have one.
There is a guy called Jimlab putting a vette (i think) rearend in his 3rd gen. A friend of mine, Gnx7, and I are going to put a Viper rearend in his 2nd gen. Both are/will be custom setups.

Well, thats the plan at least. He got one off ebay for cheap and just needs to have it inspected. He really wants those tall gears they have to keep all his torque in check.

A Jag rear-end should cope with almost anything you lob at it!!

(from what I've heard - going to be testing that soon!)
