There just isn't any domestic rear diff that would easily adapt up with leaving the 944 swing axles in there. I'm definitely going the Mustang late 90's solid axle route and there's yet another reason this is the right move for me. If down the road I want to throw more $'s and time at it I can convert to the Mustang/T-Bird/Explorer style IRS with ease. The Ford IRS uses the same attach points plus weld 2 more brackets in for the diff and boosh you're IRS.

This week is Sunriver vacation and then I'll be in full hunt mode for a Stang donor.
