Default 2wd cossie rear diff in to a 4x4

Does anyone know if a cossie 2wd rear diff will be ok in a Escort 4x4 set up running about 500bhp. I know I will need the whole back end half shafts etc. but will it stand the power or do I need a bigger rear diff, if so what should I be looking for.

the bearings and everything else in the diff are the same weather 2 or 4 wd. You will be best with a bigger diff

thought it's a different ratio to the front and would ruin your centre bearing?
