Diff is, axle shafts not so much......but that is an easy fix. propshaft angle chnages but may not be a problem. Kelvin will probably chime in

Kelvin's right all you need to do is shorten the tail shaft
and they are stronger than rover type .
Best thing is they are very similar to a Dana 60 so you can change the internals relatively easy.

I have know idea.

I personally think youd be much better off converting said Sals to disc

You can do it and get the brakes to work , but as Sug said just change it from drum to disc
