[s-cars] V8 rear diff swapped to replace the front diff in a 6 speed trans?

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

The late style 6 speeds use the 60/40/60 F/R split torsen ("center"  not 
"front"), and the v8 rear uses the 78/22/78 L/R Torsen found in the earlier  5 
speed cars (01E trans to this list, but all 5 speed torsens really).  Not  sure 
the definition of a "much better result", but certainly a wider Torque Bias  
Ratio would be available, just like what the urS cars have from the  factory.  
Not sure what his supply of v8 rears is, but he  could increase the TBR on the 
EDU torsen if he really wanted.  Stassis  advertises 7:1 TBR if you want to go 
that far.

I've had  a couple interesting emails with a gent who tells
me he is swapping in the  V8 Rear diff into the 6 speed (EDU)
tansmissions, says it provides a much  better result.

Anybody know anything about  this?
