Assume you have a Caterham but if not, a Cortina diff. is a commonly done
replacement for the Triumph 10 diff.... more available, stronger, etc.

Wow! I can hardly wait to tell my wife! Of course she's got a Miata with
suspension mods so she does understand. But a Seven! Great.

Sounds like a crossflow Cortina to me. Commonly-used and a good, reliable
engine.
