Somewhere in this conversation I miss the urgency of the argument and the "purity violation" factor. There are so many aftermarket rear ends in use now (how many 12-bolt rear ends did GM make that would bolt into a 3rd-4th generation F-body?) that the argument loses its effectiveness. If you think its necessary to keep mfr to mfr consistency, I guess that's okay. In the "old days", it had to do with durability, but the aftermarket has solved that, so I do not see why anyone would think there is an advantage using a rear end assembly based on another manufacturer's design.
