I dont think the SIV auto came with the 3.70. Perhaps it should have though.

The earlier spiral bevel diff unit is a different carrier, but is a bolt in.

The key thing to know about swapping the hypoid units with the spiral bevel
units
is the number of axle splines 17 or 25.

The spire gears CAN be interchanged to accomodate the appropriate axle
slpine.

I know Alpines came with 3.89 and 4.22 gear ratios,  (The Series VI
automatic Alpines came with 3.70), does anyone know what other ratios were
available in the other Rootes cars?  Did they all use the same differential?
Will they fit in my Alpine?  Thanx.  Tom  (I am sending this to the list.)

What can we work out to swap this for the manifold?

I didn't know Rootes offered a 4.55. What did it go into?
