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

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

I was hoping I misunderstood.  Since that's a 78/22/78 torsen he's  
installing, I'd sure be interested to know what a "much better result" is.   If we take 
a look at all forms of Audisport racing, from Groupe B to touring  car, very 
little documentation would support the statement.  In Groupe B  audi used 
either locked front (with locked center and rear), open front (with  locked center 
and LSD rear), or 20% LSD front with locked center and locked  rear.  
Audisport gave the 20% locker choice to the driver, and very few  requested it.  In 
BTCC, VC were used on all three locations with  the same 20% locking front.  
More than that in lockup, the car became  unpredictable and understeer reared 
it's ugly head.  If you go over to  offroading, a torsen front is found quite 
often, almost always accompanied by  lockout hubs.  I drove a torsen front in a 
first gen 4R, and it was obvious  that the hubs were still locked.  
 
The mod can be done, I just question where one would find a performance  
benefit.

He's putting the rear diff out of a  V8 into the front diff
position in the 6 speed transmissions  (edu/dsy).
