I believe the Moss info is a little misleading.  Later differentials will fi=
t the Bugeye axle with no problem.  What Moss is talking about is that the l=
ater gearsets will not fit in the original Bugeye differential housing, not t=
he axle housing.  Just swap the entire pumpkin and you're good.  I just inst=
alled a 3.7 diff in a Bugeye axle a few days ago.  :-)
