Brian,
The Tiger rear is an English version of the Dana Spicer 44.
I think they call it a Salisbery rear end or something like that.
The Alpine rear is not a Spicer 44 it is a little bitty thing. I have
an Alpine rear that blew the spider gears in a regular Alpine.
The Transmissions are not even close.
Note that some of the old Jeeps ( such as the postal Jeep)
have Dana 44 rears that are about an inch shorter than the Tiger
and they have 11" drum brakes. Often the bolt pattern is 5X5 1/2.
I have one under my Alpine. Just added Alpine spring seats and
modigied the driveshaft to match the Jeep U joint connection.
The emergency brake is a real pain to connect up on the Jeep rear.
