C43 owners I need your help

[zmatt]

Do any of you know if the C43 uses the larger sized V8/V12 diff housing or does it use the same I4/I6/V6 housing of the other cars?

[Sulaco]

Mine looks identical to what was in my 1994 c280.

ok thanks. You can get LSDs pretty easy for the large diff cars, I was thinking maybe the C43 used a larger rear end since it's a v8.

Yep the C43 runs the smaller diff. Try a 208 55 diff. or maybe 210 55 but get the 208 55 back plate. though you will still need all the 208 55 drive shafts. + you may need to modify the floor like they did with the 202 55.
