As the title says, is it possible to fit up a EB diff and housing into an XE?

The reason:

We have an XE racecar that has a watts link 2:7 diff in it, and I understand that the pinion, crown wheel, etc from a 3:5 will not swap over in this housing for some stupid reason.

There is no handbrake to connenct, only a tailshaft and the brakes.

Anyone help?

if it helps i put an ea diff into my xf without an issue..

possibly the pinion flange of the eb might bring you undone..?

The diff will bolt in, BUT, the EB diff has a flange, and the lower trailing arm brackets are wider on the EB diff housing, so you will need spacers to put either side of the bushing on the trailing arm.
