What would happen if you tried?

Also, I forget who posted that a rear V8 diff could be put into a 4kq, in either the middle or rear location to replace the lockable open diffs.

I'm a bit confused as to how many diffs there are.  I know there is a center one and a rear one, both of which can be locked.  But is there a third diff for the front wheels, or is the middle diff this one?

The power has to be split to front and rear, and then left and right, so that's three splits isn't it?  Maybe I need to look at a line drawing or cutaway image or something.

Thanks,

Ken
