Didn't the axle spline count change at some point? So you can do the conver=
sion but there are a few extra tweaks necessary, possibly up to and includi=
ng the installation of new axles.
IIRC most of the period posi conversions were done using a Jaguar different=
ial assembly. Then there is something that sticks in my mind where the orig=
inal ring gear bolts are smaller than what is being used now. So if you're =
using a modern posi unit then you have to use stepped ring gear bolts.
My Tiger has the 3.31 gears (and a Torsen LSD) and it spins at about 3000 R=
PM at 60 MPH, in fourth. The five speed makes it livable but first gear is =
really short. Still need to change it over to the Z ratios.

Stock rear end is NOT posi.=C2=A0 It is now called Dana44, same diff as a l=
ot of 4x4 front as well as others.
 A normal rear end shop can put posi in if someone didn't do yours before.
 Axles, bearings, hubs are unique Tiger.
 Stock is about 2450RPM at 60, way too fast unless you have a big cam IMHO.
 Big carb, hopped up 289, you probably get 14mpg highway?=C2=A0 Ouch.
 I have a stock 5.0L/T-5 wide ratio..=C2=A0 maybe 220HP, 14in wheels =3D195=
0RPM at 70.. NICE.=C2=A0 Like a modern car
 MPG > 20 but=C2=A0 not sure..
 Good luck,
