Nothing  as far as i'm aware. The AE71 panelvan diff, being leaf sprung, can only be interchanged with the KE70 panelvan/wagon diff, which is no better.
Where are you located? I have a spare AE71 panelvan diff centre & axles in Canberra (3.9:1 ratio) if you are interested in a simple replacement.
Any larger diff will require some work to change the suspension mounting points, but may be worthwhile if you like your burnouts  How much oil on the road did you need to get the 4AC to spin the tyres???!

I eventually got sick of busted needlestick diffs, and stuffed a Hilux diff out the back. Was well worth it, and a tightened up LSD isn't exactly a bad thing either

on bitchumen or grass?  just kidding. The 1410mm hilux diff can be fitted without shortening if you change your wheel offset. I've got an F series corona diff in mine, 1415mm width.

I have an AE-71 wagon that I keep on snapping diffs in, once I thought the pannel van ones were tougher so I tried one of them, to make it fit I re-adjusted the center mount out a bit, with the factory adjustment and I also had the flange on the diff modified a bit. The holes are 1mm further away in one direction only and I also had to take step off it. What you could do is fit an ae-71 wagon diff in instead, which is a little better. The hilux option is so bloody heavy and hard, I think swapping the mounts on something like a T-18 diff might be better.
and no it that diff didnt last long in my car (8000km!!!)
