irokin Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 No you won't be able to (at least not easily). KE30s use leaf springs where as KE70s use a 5-link setup with coil springs so all the mounts will be missing on your KE30 diff. Just have a hunt around for someone wrecking a KE70, shouldn't be too hard to sus one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 You can put the carrier/crownwheel and pinion in the KE70 housing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 will the whole housing from a 70 fit on to a 30 diff, that would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philbo Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I put a KE36 diff centre into my AE71, however when i tightened the pinion shaft, it loaded up the bearing and wouldn't spin. I think this was because the shim wasn't on it at the time, but just remember to compare the pinion shaft lengths when you do the swap. I ended up using the AE71 pinion until i found a full diff, but this mismatched combo howled like crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
