Absolutely agree with comments above that the T50 will be fine for your car, and use a T series rear diff out of a TA22/RA28/T18 or along those lines.

 

Sounds like you will have the ability to change it to leaf spring easily enough and narrow it depending on which diff you get.

 

7 rib 4AGE in either bigport or smallport is a good choice too, rather than a 3 rib.

 

The great benefit of this car is that it is light.

 

Don't weigh it down unnecessarily.

 

Cheer's, I may have my hands on a 7rib - small port motor. I'll have to find a t50 box then get a move on.

 

Still cutting rust out.... and treating it. Hopefully finish both door's tonight.

Make sure it is a T50 for an A series engine, not a T series engine.

 

You will pay a premium for a T50 with the clutch slave on the drivers side of the bellhousing (commonly referred to as a JDM box) whereas the 'ADM' box has it on the passenger side near the exhaust. There are ways to manage that though.

 

I imagine it will be tight enough on the passenger side getting your exhaust past the steering linkages/draglink.
