 Q on diff for TA22 Conversion

Hi All,
Just need a bit of help with my conversion...
I've got a stock 71 TA22 which i am fitting with a
89 VN V6 3.8L engine that I have acquired. I have the VN auto gearbox,as well as the wiring etc. (before anyone says why VN, I got the engine / parts at an exceptional price) ..
My main problem is the diff.
I want to get a diff what will handle the new engine, but I cant seem to track a suitable one down, that will not require heaps of modification. My main requirement is that it HAS to be disc brake rear end, and I would like it to be LSD.
I looked into a sprinter diff but it is rather $$$... I then tried a corona diff, but it doesnt fit..easily.. I dont want to have to cut up the stock celica diff to use on another one to make it fit.. I would prefer something that would bolt in easily... with little or no modification... Any ideas? Any help is very much appreciated as I am getting rather frustrated with trying to find the 'right one'..
Peter.

The right diff that's a bolt in for your TA22 and has rear disk's does not exist. You have to cut down/modify/adapt something else to make it fit.
Please do a search and read how all the others have done it before now.

I have done a search... I am basically asking if there is an option for something that does not require too much modification that will support the v6 and limited slip... (which doesnt look likely considering previous threads... but I can only ask)..
Thanks for the reply.
Peter.

Your search answered your question, if there was a quick and easy disk brake lsd rear end for a TA22/RA23/28....we would all be talking and raving about it. As it is, there is not, so we cobble together combinations of bits to give us what we need.
Besides, when I went through this exercise I spoke to two diff mod shops in Perth and they both said that they could cut down any Commodore rear axle to any size and make that fit, using the original axle as a model.
So, maybe a cut down Commodore rear end is the answer you need to match your Commodore motor.
Might be cheaper to make a two door chopped top 89 VN in the end !
