Not that hard really... i've got one for sale if you want it
It even has a G80, disc brakes,and 3.42 gears... you'd be all set! Between the 8.5" rear and the iron front diff you have, you'd be pretty well setup for lockers!

Do we know the size/specs of the front diff? I think I'm going to have to take a look at my diff... Maybe I got lucky and got the 8.5"... Which would be really nice, as Auburn has a limited slip locker for the GM 8.5" 10 bolt rear end...
Though, the fact that you've got one sitting there with 3.42's is pretty swanky too, lol... Shipping would be killer, though...
Time to go take a picture of my diff! lol
Though, I suppose, to confirm the iron front diff, the only way is with a magnet? no special part numbers or anything, right? lol
Edit: Damn... I think I've only got the 7 5/8" diff...

EDIT......Hey Jigg, is that 8.5" G80 out of a 2-door or a 4-door? If it comes with a manual only, it's have to be a 2-door of course, but aren't they different lengths? IIRC, the 4-door's rear axle housing is a couple inches wider?

The body might be wider, but I don't think the axles are... Not 100% sure on that, though...
Edit: from what I can find, the track width of the rear on the 4 door does appear to be a little bit larger... by an inch or less...
Only a ZR2 axle is wider, as far as I knew...

I'm pretty sure the body is the same width, but like I said I think the 4-door's axle is a little wider than the 2-door. I'll do some research on it though. How much you want for the axle Jigg? Where is it located?
