I'm using a complete 1500 driveline in my mk II Spitfire. I kept the complete driveline together for many reasons. I used the bigger engine and full syncro gearbox for more tourque. I used the diff because of the better gear ratio, and the rear axles for the wider track. I also used the swing spring for better handling along with the larger front roll bar. If you put the swing spring on the Mk II diff remember to plug the middle 2 mounting holes first or the oil can come out thruogh them. When you have the front roll bar off check it for twist. it is quick and easy to do, just lay it on a flat surface and check the height of the ends. My Mk II one was twisted so bad one end was 3 inches higher than the other.
