Default NB Torsen LSD w MFactory 3.3 R&P

SALE PENDING

I am parting out the turbo stuff from my Exocet, and that means swapping back to a 4.3 diff. This setup worked great with a 6spd and turbo, pulled hard for days and gave a 65mph second gear. Was setup by a professional engineer who builds industrial gearboxes for conveyor systems, with all new OEM seals and new carrier bearings.

Price options below:

Just the pumpkin w/ Torsen and R&P - 900 OBO+ shipping from 46229
Complete diff assemble with aluminum carrier with SadFab Delrin busings - 1100 OBO, would need to be picked up in Indy/ Louisville area, or could possibly meet up in Cincy, Nashville, Atlanta, Knoxville, Birmingham or Montgomery during one of my excursions to the south in the next month or so.
Note, the aluminum carrier was previously broken and re-welded by a spec Pinata racer, quality of weld is very good per aforementioned engineer friend.

I’m tempted but already have a 3.9 and the 3.3 R&P just no time to put everything together. In the middle of building a garage...

I feel your pain, it is so hard to find time for any projects anymore.

TBH I’m kind of surprised nobody’s jumped on it. Nice setup for somebody with a 6sp.

I didn't notice any additional whining in the limited amount of driving I did on them (no more than 5 miles tops, 3 autocross runs and a couple of spins around the block, and whatever riving around the autox site). However, they were in a turbo Exocet w/ a ton of NVH already, so I can't promise that there is nothing if mounted in a street car.

I'm also interested - Did you do any treatment to the gears prior to installation or were they put in as-is? How much to ship to MN?
