2.0 xr 4x4 box will fit, needs to be a cossie front diff as its 3.62:1 where the xr is 3.9:1 if I remember right?

If you want a front diff I have one say doing nothing if you want to collect it FOC.

The 2.9L xr diff is the same as a cossie one, it's the 2.0 xr diff thats 3.9
The 2.0 4x4 box fits ( I have one currently in my race car) but you need to swap the clutch pin and tail shaft/ housing for the cossie one, it's an easy job to do

No Glenn the 2.0 4x4 box is virtually the same as the cossie box with just the changes mentioned above
