I've got a list of ratios avail for each diff R160, R180 , R190, R200 at home. I'm pretty sure a 5.1 for an R160 would be hard to find and the bigger ones won't fit in the R160 case. I believe a bigger diff is better in a 1600 (is this what its going into?) as they benefit from the extra weight down back. I would go for the R160 subaru LSD in 4.1 or 4.4 with either a Z 5 speed or similar (depending on the Historic regs?) as these would be easier to find than the Datto ones in R160 size.
