Your biggest problem with a custom diff/axle assembly may be keeping
the stock bolt pattern...

Why not just narrow an S-10 axle, get the Auburn LSD for it, and while
converting it to disc brakes, redrill the axle flanges for a 4x4.5" bolt
circle? Wouldn't be cheap, but would be cheaper than a fully custom
built diff/axle. And be quite strong as well...
