Thats right although you would be lucky to find a 200b independent rear end in any thing but poor conditdion. >Rear brakes on a 200B, one word, dunno.

For the rear the best conversion that I have seen is the trx bluebird diff. you should be able to get a series I or series II for < $200 ( I paid $80 and $120 for my last 2 diffs disc to disc). if you uses the series I tail shaft you can have a bolt on rear disc conversion ( not counting the master cyliner). If you also grab the sway bar and lower links ( the bits that the sway bar bolt to ) you have a rear sway bar as well. also note that this will push the rear wheels out about 10-15mm, I had to lip my guards to fit the 200b sx mags under. the series 3 is a lot stronger although I am unsure if it will bolt in. and will cost $300+, and I have only blown 2 s2 bbird diffs in the last 2-3 years. As for conversions the 200b tends to be a little easier with the larger engine bay and the cross member towards the back of the car. I have a z18 in mine. I used the standard 200b gear box crossmember and the 200b engine mounts redrilled & swapped left right. The fj is just as easy using the fj engine mounts it will bolt to the 200b cross member.
