Real Posi for my TR4

[Gregory Petrolati <gpetrola@prairienet.org>]

        I currently have a "detroit locker" with 4-1 gearing in my TR4. 
        It has really helped my autocrossing but I think the locker is 
        tearing up my tranny (all that clunking can't be doing it good). 
        I love to get a suitable posi for the car but I cannot afford a 
        salisbury posi at the current prices (even if one could be found). 
        I'm thinkiing of trying the old hotrodders trick of getting a diff 
        from say, a Ford and have it shortened and adapted to fit the TR. 
        The question is... what fits? I want to return to the stock gear 
        ratio (I think it's 3.78 to 1) and I'd like to keep the same hubs 
        if possible. Can this be done? If so, what's the going rate for 
        such a modification?

        Any advice, suggestions and warnings (except "that's not original you
        fool, you fool!") will be welcomed...

        Thanks in advance...
