im considering the toyota 8" as well. What had the ford 8"? google just keep showing me 8.8"

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!!
