I think it's a 10.5" Powerlock Diff, but I presume you'll need custom drives shafts and propshaft and mod the beam as well.

Was it not the gearboxes that were from Jags, Gertrag 265 from the V12 xjs' ? I think, not sure if it was that Jag model.

I have heard of this and im sure i saw a rear beam at a show a few years ago with a Jag diff on it?

My dad and alot of his mates are all into hot rods and the Jag diff is often used in that scene.

Don't hold me to this but im sure they have said that it is not rated much past 350bhp anyway??

Many are open diffs too, it is the powerlock one you want

How much power/torque will you be running on your project? Will it be a Sierra project? The only thing that would interest me on this type of stuff is the cost to modify prop flanges/driveshaft flanges/chassis mounting points etc etc if you're not capable of doing the modding work yourself. Is the Jag a clutch/plate diff generally?
