Larry,
I've been doing alot of research in this area, due to the fact I'm
making a Spit 6. I don't know how strong the early 4.11 Spit diffs
are, but corresponding years GT6 and Spit diffs are the same, later
1500 diffs seem to be a little stronger. The housings are different
from '71 and up, and the axle casings for '75 and up Spits are the same
as '71 - '73 GT6s. GT6 mk3s and Spit 1500s are generally the same.
Spit mk4 and GT6 mks 2 & 3 seem very similar. Spit mks 1 - 3 diffs will
fit, but are not quite as strong. All diffs are interchangable between
bodies, for they all bolt down the same way. If you want a diff that is
alot stronger, I think I remember reading/hearing that a TR6 diff can be
used. If you really want to know, I will find out for you.
