Differential ratios

Mi diff is quite noisy.
It would be easier to build a "new" unit and change it. I have heard an
Alpine diff can be replaced with a later Rootes diff unit (Hunter, Vogue,
Arrow, Alpine GT etc.)
I have not found the ratios of those later diffs; I have heard cars with
automatic transmission have faster rear gearing, but the only Arrow
automatic I have found is still in normal traffic.

I have not found an overdrive + box, so I think a bit faster gearing could
be ok with a mildly tuned 1725 engine. Have manual Hunters or Baby-Cudas
faster diff ratio?
