Mopar Diff
I thought I post some pics of the diff transplant we are doing onthe s2000. Its a Mopar piece with some 3.90 gears. We have to clean it up and finish up the final touches. It was built by Robert Kasper from Kasper Fabrication and Machine.

That is the strangest thing I've seen but I appaud you for your enginuity. 
An after thought: Wouldn't a 3.9 final drive put much more strain on the powertrain upstream of that? It would almost be like starting off in 2nd gear all the time.

X,
considering the intital tests with the stock gearing and what gear we wanted to be in crossing the 1/4, the 3.90s made sense for now with the powerband. One of the reason for selecting a domestic rear was the availability of parts so we do have plenty of gears ready to try to get the right selection.

That looks Very nice, You'll never break the 8 3/4 Chrysler unit. Stock units can take close to 500ft/lbs of torque.
I'd look into a Mopar Performance Aluminium center section to save little weight.
They are also cheap to get gears/LSD's even spools for. I've got a center section from a Imperial with 2.76's. Anyone want to run 200 in a S?

as for the spools, yes we have them but we are trying the posi first. And actually wanted some more weight in the back due to traction problems, thus no pretty case. We even put a tractor battery in the trunk (1150 cca)
