i am modifying mq diffs to fit into my 94 disco i know it will not be easy but have no choice just bought a 83 troll minus motor but has an adaptor for a chev on the box which was nevere finished (motor was never fitted) for the donor vehicle but am looking for a rear disc setup so as the hos wil pass rego i will not be getting it engineered so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Rear disc brake conversion is here............

If your worried about diff strength forget it...........
a 400chev cant hurt em
plenty of 350's have tried
quite a few 308s have failed
heaps of 253's gave up ages ago
unless ya bolting a 502 big block in, the chances of braking one are slim !

cheers if the diffs are wide enough for the coil conversion then it will be smooth sailing i have no choice as my current rear is tooth soup and my front goes clunk clunk

My 308 will do the damage to the axles and CVS.....
but the key to the MQ diff strength isnt purely proportional to motor....
a V8 with stock tyres or close will not do any damage to MQ diffs.....
but when you go up to bigger tyres like 38s for example and the v8 combo.... damage occurs.....
ive already done a rear axle and outer hemisphere cab on the rear and a front CV in 4 trips on 38s with 308 so its sorta proportional to tyre size more than motor.
