That doesnt prevent him from switching differentials. He could go with the
mopar (or comparable) posi unit. Were still dealing with the 8 1/4
differential housing. Yes, changing the diff unit is more expensive, but
it may be the only option he has. It would also be easier to switch
differentials than to hunt for an odd gear set.
