Have you considered the B2600i axle? I'm just now messing with it myself but you can see in a recent thread I've made that the Rx8 LSD fits into it, which also opens up the possibilities for aftermarket diffs. Also, the manual 4WD axle is already a highish 4.30. Basically its a straight axle TurboII rear end. It is 6-lug, and drum , which would present obvious issues, but just bringing it into the fray.

It would def keep things in the family!!
