    318 LSD compatability..?

    I have a 4.10 LSD from a 318, I was wondering if it would bolt up to an eta driveshaft? Thanks bros.

      But, you should be aware that it can't take more than about 3 inch pounds of torque.

        Hurp.

        Apparently a 168 4.10 can take 220ft.lbs, although I doubt one with 20+ year old internals will.

          They tend to blow up with a lot less applied, whatever the nominal rating is.

            I'd recommend selling it to another E30 owner and buying a medium case diff.
